Why is that when i seem to sleep for a long period of time 10 hrs. i get this headache sometimes effecting like my ears. no history of sleep apnea or bp?

Not uncommon ..: especially in migraine sufferers (which it appears, you are). The mechanism may have something to do with REM sleep just before awakening. Even if you don't have sleep apnea, the influence of sleep is felt to be a strong factor in those with headaches. Too little sleep ( 9 hrs) both seem to be aggravating factors. Target 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Good luck!
