When I was a kid, I stood up and had a huge stretch and then tried to walk off and ended up falling. I think folks call it a head rush. That was the only occasion where it impacted me materially. I've had much more mild "head rushes." When I do I pause for a sec waiting for it to pass.

The main reason I even started the thread was to share the fact, that a lightheaded dizzy feeling after sitting for a while, and then standing up is not to be just ignored.

Good call, being unsteady on your feet is nothing to sneeze at, and as you get older it's probably more important.
[quoteI don't think I have ever felt dizzy just at random, and certainly not after being up and about and walking. When I wake up, I toss the sheets off, and literally bounce out of bed within seconds of waking up, ready to take a shower and get the morning going. My wife simply can't fathom it even after 31 years of marriage, she is not a morning person.[/QUOTE]
I had BPV once and it freaked me out.
I am a night owl, but like you, when I wake up, I'm up regardless of the time. I can spring out of bed any time that I am awake.

You're wife and my wife must be related. I'm usually up first. When she gets up, I don't talk to her, but I do make her a cup of coffee (when I'm home), and I mostly wait until she starts talking to me before I talk to her much. She is not a morning person. She takes a while to "wake up" before she's ready for interaction. I don't get it.
