Afternoon nap gives me a headache.

No, sleeping doesn't usually give me a headache. But remember that there are many reasons for headaches. You could be dehydrated after sleeping awhile or even sinuses and allergies. Many other reasons too. I would do some research and see if any of the reasons you find could fit with what is going on with you.

so do I..!! that's why i dont like taking a nap. moreover I tend to have insomnia and taking a nap will make the insomnia getting worse so I avoid taking a nap. and yup, I will have headache too if i take a nap. mostly because I can sleep well during the day. I have a six yo daughter and she cant stop disturb me every time i try to take a nap. so i not only lose my opportunity to take a rest for a moment but also get headache. that's why I never try to take a nap again till today. i prefer staying awake so i can sleep better in the night..

I do experienced the same thing too before especially when the weather is too hot. But, if it's not I seldom have it. Maybe you lack sleep or you're just to tired when you took a nap but sometimes the weather had an effect too.

the trick to sleep for only half an hour. When you are taking an afternoon nap make sure you keep an alarm clock with you for one hour or so, or have someone wake you up after 1/2 hour of sleep. By doing this you are going in the border of deep sleep and waking up during that time will refresh you but going beyond that time, that is entering into deep sleep will only let you feel gorgy and sleep deprive because you system when into the sleep mode and has a hard time waking up. I too had this type of headache so i advided taking naps but i asked my mom to wake me up after 1/2 hour somedays ago and since then i didnt have any problem at all.

Sometimes if I am not feeling good, or I sleep the wrong way then I do get a headache.

Hi, my friends daughter has this problem. She is studying in college. But it is holiday she sleeps in the afternoon and when she wake she always has headache. She don't have the habit of taking afternoon nap daily. I don't know what is the reson for this.

I think most probably you should try to nap at different times and try to nap at the time that suites you. I do not know why you are getting headaches after napping. I think one of the reason that you are getting headache is that most probably you might not have napped very well or must have got in between the nap.

You know, sometimes taking a nap does indeed give me a headache. All the time people tell me to try to sleep off my migraines, but I can never do that. And if I try to nap during the day, on the rare occasions I can, I might wake up with a headache I didn't have before I went to sleep. Often my one side of my face will hurt as well.

I've not been a person that has been able to nap since I was a very young child. However, I was up all night the other day and I decided that I would lay down for a little bit while the kids were gone to school. When I woke up just a couple hours later, I felt terrible. I don't know if I just needed to sleep some more or if it really did have to do with the fact that my sleeping in the middle of the day like that was just something that my body is not used to.

hi lyn, Every time I sleep it gave mom a headache I think there are some people like you who are like that hope you feel better happy mylotting mwahhuggss

Sleeping at night would not give me any headache. But if I sleep in the afternoon especially when the weather is really hot, I would definitely suffer from a headache or sometimes a migraine when I woke up. I guess it is just not suitable for us to sleep in hot weather. The heat somehow gets the natural energy balance in our brain disturbed. That is why I would avoid lying down in the afternoon unless it is a gloomy or rainy day.

i get a headache too if i nap in the afternoon.When i wake up in the evening i feel horrid and completely not fresh.The feeling is really uneasy
