What Causes Severe Headache And Nausea When Slept For More Than 8 Hours?

For quite a while now, if I sleep only 5 or 6 hours a night I'm ok. But, if I get more than that, say 8 or 9 hours i wake up with a severe headache. It usually makes me nauseous and no amount of otc headache medicine has helped. Any ideas why this occurs and what I can do about it?

Yes, excess sleep can disrupt daily routine and cause clouded head.
I suggest maintaing strict routine should help. Use of caffeine or tea on waking up can be helpful.
