I think the first thing to check (due to being reasonably likely as well as easy to test) is eye sight: If you don't wear glasses maybe and eye test would show that you are near or far sighted. (That you woke up with a headache suggests otherwise but it is still a possibility)

I wear glasses whenever I'm awake. The prescription was last updated in January of last year. The headaches are pretty much a lifelong issue, and I've had glasses since the second grade regularly checked for ongoing compatibility, so I doubt it's that unless several different eye doctors have been making a consistent mistake. The reason I was moved to post today is that ibuprofen is slowly ceasing to work as decisively as it used to.
