Probably not.

Dawn syndrome is when BG is higher in the morning because in the
night the liver decided the body needed more glucose.

Have you been tested for sleep apnea? That could cause the morning
hangover feeling.

I have chronic sinusitis/rhinitis-- only semi-self-diagnosis <G> -- and I sometimes wake up with that hangoverish feeling when I didn't drink any alcohol at all the night before. I also sleep badly, and used to snore. I should probably be tested for sleep apnea, but the mere thought of sleeping with something attached to me fills me with horror. Maybe I'll mention to my doctor the next time I see her and see what she thinks...


I can't use the CPAP (long ugly story) but I got a very good bed wedge from RelaxTheBack (they also have a website) and between that and sleeping on my side I think I've got it more or less tamed. The reason I think this is that I almost never get "sleep attacks" any more. (Fatigue is not the same thing.) My apnea is considered "mild to moderate" though.

Please see the other post I wrote about this describing how they determine whether a person has it.
