Anyone else get hella bad headaches when oversleeping?

[2Xtreme21]

I usually get 6-7 hours of sleep during the week and I try to sleep in on the weekends. Almost regularly, if I get 9+ hours, I'll wake up with a splitting headache. Drinking lots of water, making myself a cup of coffee, and going back to sleep for another hour or so will usually resolve it, but in cases like this morning (and maybe one weekend-day a month), I'll have to take vicodin to ease the pain enough that I can even fall back asleep.

Anyone else get these? I'll have to remember to set my alarm for 6am tomorrow morning to avoid a headache I guess...

Nope, I can sleep from 4-5 hours to 12 hours and get up a little dehydrated. My days and nights meld into each other sometimes, and I get an extra day out of it. I live like I'm still in College sometimes lol.

Usually a cup a day at work.

I think I got that a couple of times, but usually oversleeping (say 12 hours) just makes me groggy the whole day.

It's the coffee. If I drink that much coffee, if I have a nice Sunday sleep in, I'll wake up with a splitting headache. The only solution is more coffee. Vicious cycle.

Consider the room temperature, humidity, noises, and pillow.

Could be dehydration giving you the headache. Drink a glass of water when you go to sleep. Coffee is a diuretic so it does contribute some to it, but probably not at the cup-a-day level.

If you have a big headache, check your blood pressure, just in case.

 

[Jumpem]

Yup. I can't nap for the same reason. I will wake up feeling horrible.

That happens to me. It's my sinuses. The gunk gets into places it shouldn't be in my ears and other sinus cavities and gives me headaches for a few days. It's terrible.
