this sick to the stomach feeling of nausea in the morning has been coming and going for pretty much the last 25 years of my life. i think the cause of this differs for everyone, and in my case, it's not always the same reason. there was a period when it was mostly due to stress and depression, which can be aggravated by sleep depravation – i've also had bouts of insomnia.
on a good morning, the nausea usually goes away after abt 1 hour. but most days, i'd be feeling nauseated but can't puke, and i'd have a terrible headache or sometimes stomach cramp. it's an absolutely horrible experience, one that has caused me to miss many classes in my uni days when this was at its peak. (funny thing, that was when i discovered that if i drink the night before – just enough to get a good buzz without the horible puking hangover the next day – i'd usually feel fine the next morning. it's not a good idea but it did help get me to my classes.) i've tried seeing the doctors a few times, but i'm usually fine by the time i get to the doctors so they can't figure out what's wrong. i don't think it's caused by dehydration coz i actually drink quite a lot of water – abt the recommended 8 cups a day, and no, i don't count sodas and coffees, just plain water.
like many of the people here, this 'morning sickness' usually goes away if i wake up later in the day. i spent my breaks keeping vampiric hours, and i'd feel wonderful.
i've decided to stop fighting my natural circadian rhythm, and have taken a job that allows me to come in to work around 11am, and go for lunch an hour or so later (breakfast has never helped and only made the nausea worse when this was happening) the problem has pretty much disappeared for the last 2 years (although it still rears its ugly head on occassions when i'm really, really stressed, or when there's morning meetings).
i guess the point of writing this is to just let you know that there is a way out of it. figure out what's the underlying cause (or causes), and know that everyone's body react differently so you need to find a system or solution that works for you. hydrate your body more, or get treated for stomach acid, or talk to a shrink, or simply just get better sleep. all the best to you in getting over this.
ps: abt the sleep problem, i've tried over-the-counter and prescription pills, herbal teas, exercising and so on, just can't tune it to "normal" clocks. and i do stress on BETTER sleep, not longer than necessary, or sleeping at "normal times" if it's not normal to u. just a nice, solid, uninterupted sleep for 7-8 hours, or whatever suits u. ok, ciao.

i can go to bed the night before and feel great but sometime between 4 & 6 am, i wake up and my stomach hurts. i fight the feeling of throwing up for as long as i can. sometimes after i throw up i feel better but not usually. its usually only a day that i feel this way but it seems to be happening more often here recently. i finally decided enough is enough and thought maybe i could look this c**p up online and see what it might be. i did have gastroenteritis back around thanksgiving of 2009 and since then is when all this started happening. i'm not sure if it is related or not but i am so sick and tired of feeling sick. i dont get any kind of tingling or anything like that, just throwing up about once a month or now about 2-3 times a month.....
if anyone can help, that would be great! feeling sick today so going back to bed.....
