Things That Make Me Odd (1st in a Series)

1) Napping Makes Me Sick.

I haven't been able to find an explanation for this, despite prodigious Googling. If I fall asleep during the day, I wake up feeling like something even the cat wouldn't drag in. Typical sensations are headache, dizziness, shakiness, and extreme nausea accompanied by a horrible taste in my mouth that tooth-brushing won't touch. It is exponentially worse if I nod off and am suddenly awakened twenty minutes later by a phone ringing or something else that startles me, but any period of sleep less than about two hours seems to result in at least some of the above symptoms. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to happen if I am already sick (e.g. from a cold) or if I wake up in the middle of the night having slept for only a short time.
