Don’t Ignore The Snore®
Morning headaches
Waking with a dull, pressing headache that fades as the morning goes on.
In plain language
What could be happening.
Oxygen down, carbon dioxide up
When breathing repeatedly pauses at night, oxygen can dip while carbon dioxide builds. Blood vessels respond in ways that can leave a characteristic dull morning headache.
It fades — and that's the clue
Sleep-related morning headaches typically ease within the first hours of being awake, once normal breathing has had time to restore the balance. Headaches that behave this way, morning after morning, deserve attention.
Worth taking seriously
The warning signs.
A pressing headache present on waking, most mornings
It usually fades within a few hours
It comes with snoring, gasping, or restless nights
Painkillers before bed don't prevent it
Why it matters: Morning headaches have many possible causes — but when they travel with snoring and tiredness, sleep-disordered breathing is a prime suspect worth ruling in or out properly. A measured night does that.
The clear next step
Find out in sixty seconds.
A home sleep test measures your oxygen levels through the night — real data behind the morning headache.
