I got headaches that would wake me up from a dead sleep - horrible pain - I had some kind of ear infection I think. The doctor didn't find anything but I demanded antibotics (the only time in my life I ever had) and it went away within two days. Good luck

Hypoglycemia is a term used to refer to blood sugar that is too low to sustain normal body functioning. If hypoglycemia attacks while you are sleeping, you may find that you experience night sweats and a painful headache. A light balanced snack prior to bedtime, such as whole-wheat crackers with cheese, will help to keep your blood sugar more stable while you sleep and prevent nighttime occurrence of hypoglycemia.
