9. Lifestyle Changes
As stress and sleep deprivation are common causes of exploding head syndrome, small lifestyle changes could help treat the condition naturally.
Most people require between six and eight hours of sleep every night. If you struggle to sleep through the night, try taking a warm bath or reading just before bed. Each individual needs to find what works best for them. Alcohol is also known to disrupt sleep patterns so avoiding alcohol should lead to a better night's sleep.
