Morning Headaches
Mild morning headaches could be the result of snoring in sleep apnea. In moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, headaches are a possible result of prolonged periods without enough oxygen.
When the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen throughout the night, it may hurt. In obstructive sleep apnea, air can potentially get trapped in the lungs. This might lead to an increase in carbon dioxide inside the body, which also potentially leads to headaches.
