Muscle tension: See your dentist and get an appliance that will help with night grinding or bruxing.

Am headaches.: I agree w dr. Burns. Do you snore at night? Has any one witnessed you stop breathing in your sleep? Overweight? One possible reason for waking tired with a headache is sleep apnea. Checking for dental & medical causes would be prudent. Take care.
