EDIT: Based on feedback from a number of people, I tried electrolyte supplements and all was well today. It looks like I was drinking enough water, but not enough electrolytes.

Hey poaler bears, I want to pick your brains. The last two days I woke up feeling up feeling like I had a nasty hangover (severe headache, nausea, sensitivity to light, etc)...but without the drinking to explain it. I had one beer Monday night, and nothing aside from water last night. I drink plenty of water so being dehydrated would be strange, I'm not diabetic, I dont have sleep apnea, and I'm not sick (I feel fine during the day).

The symptoms are exactly what I'd expect to have if I was 22 and at the bar until 3am, not from drinking a glass of water and going to bed at 9pm like a geezer.

Any ideas where to start looking for a cause?

Exhaust leaks are a common source of such complaints. Detectors are frequently not installed correctly. For whatever reason, many install them on ceilings where they are useless. I assume your detectors are physically close to the ground?

If symptoms continue I recommend going to a doctor to start with some blood tests and general consultation.

I did a quick search and didn't find anything about installing CO2 detectors near the ground. Are you meaning like 5 feet above the ground?

Never mind. It appears I am confused. Ignore that part. Sorry.

No worries.

I have one near a wood stove so I just double checked to make sure it was in the right place.
