Headaches are the bodies warning light for many different issues. Anything from a disease process to a simple mechanical neck issue can cause it.
Start with ruling out the worst by visiting your GP. If all is clear, see your chiropractor for a spinal assessment to determine what may be causing the issue.

All of the above are correct, have any serious issues ruled out. If there is no serious pathology, a couple of things to look at as well are:
1. hydration. while you sleep, your body loses alot of water. So make sure you are drinking at least 1.5 liters per day. we need to drink more the heavier we weigh. remember tea and coffee or any caffeinated beverages are not water and they dehydrate you further
2. If you have neck pain associated with the headaches, this could be a pillow issue
3. If you have neck pain this could also indicate you have a neck problem that a chiropractor or other health care professional might be able to help.
4. Watching TV, reading, using the computer before bed could be causing some eye strain and stressing your body. Have your eyes checked.
Finally, remember point one above, see a qualified health care professional who can lead you in the right direction.

If the headache clears up after having a shower and getting dressed, then this physical activity may have normalised your blood sugar. This may mean you are hypoglycaemic. One way around this is to have a protein/fat snake before bed. The best solution is a hand full of nuts like macadamia, walnut or almonds.
Taking a supplement with “blood glucose tolerance factor” aka chromium and fenugreek can help.Most health food stores will have this.
Becoming arobically fit may also help

You could be grinding or clenching your teeth as you sleep? Notice if your jaw is tight on waking or if your jaw takes a while to loosen up. Ask your dentist if your teeth are showing patterns of wear.
