I sometimes get this problem if I'm dehydrated, because I sweat in my sleep [more in the winter because of the heater]. Also, you pillows can cause this if your head is at too much of an angle or not at high enough of an angle.
If it happens too often and these other things don't seem to be a problem discuss it with your doctor.
Do not panic. Here is what to do.
1) If this occurs EVERY night, then see your doctor, you need a CT scan of your head asap.
2) If this does NOT occur every night, then relax... often times migraines do strike at night. It is important to try to identify what is triggering migraines. It can be stress, anxiety, depression, skipped meals, loss of sleep, too much sleep, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, other foods.... look into it
Maybe your bedroom is too stuffy? Also, have a glass of water by your bed as you may also be dehydrated.
