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?

Any ideas where to start looking for a cause?

1) Check the liver, maybe it's going down for some reason. You can get a cirrhosis even if you never drank a drop of alcohol in your life, by being over exposed to acetone over the years typically (like you wash your hands with it when you're done working on something). Maybe your liver isn't working as it should and you feel nauseous as a result

2) Check the wife, she might have tried to poison you and it failed

My liver's good - had it checked within the last month as part of annual blood work.
