My problem is that not only I feel tired when I oversleep, but I also have a splitting headache. Does anyone else experience this?

Not me...I can sleep for 12+ hours and wake up and feel fine. My schedule's a bit thrown off, but no sleepiness or headaches.

That, however, can be a bad thing as I usually sleep through something important.
