Re: help
Have you seen an MD to check for any other possible issues not necessarily related to sleep, etc?
Re: help
Waking with bad headaches is very suspicious for teeth clenching and grinding while asleep which you may not even be aware you're doing. There is a correlation between night clenching and sleep apnea. (I have both - my dentist is now fitting me for a night guard.)
The second possible cause that comes to mind is chronic mild dehydration. If you habitually drink a lot of coffee it's possible to get caffeine withdrawal headache as early as the next morning, but I imagine dehydration would be more likely, because caffeine is a diuretic but drinking it all day, you don't think to load up on other fluids.
Research any meds you are taking, as headache is a common side effect.
Those would be the things I'd suspect first, however a visit to the doctor would be wise.

Re: help
I’ve read that some people dealing with chronic sleep disorders, especially when anxiety or pain is involved, have found some relief with medical cannabis. There’s a clinic called Alternaleaf in the UK that offers personalized cannabis-based treatments — might be worth checking out the patient reviews, I’ve added the link above.

Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.

Re: help
I really wouldn't advise that (yet, anyhow) because while i'm not 'anti' dope on principal, I'd look to other more likely causes first.
