If they are really, really really bad and occur at regular intervals, starting about 90 minutes after going to sleep, you could be talking about cluster headaches. Use that term to search using Google and see if the symptoms you find match yours. You could also be experiencing TMJ problems, which is where the jawbone joint is connected to the skull. Quite often, when we sleep, we tend to clench or grind our teeth, which can cause these types of headaches, some of which can get pretty severe. There are treatments for this, the most common and least invasive is to have your dentist make an appliance for you to wear when you sleep. It prevents you from clenching or grinding your teeth, and also helps to keep the jaw in more proper alignment, thus giving tremendous relief. The appliance is actually comfortable, so don't let the 'image' of it keep you from talking to your dentist about having one made for you.
