I have several fermentors setting in my bedroom . All are at various stages of fermentation from needing a blowoff tube to ready to secondary or bottle. My wife nd I have been waking up with headaches a LOT. is it even remotely possible that the cause is the fermenting beer?
Is this even remotely possible?

Yes...Co2 in a confined space is not good for you.
We had a thread exactly like this earlier this year.

Besides the fact that you're sleep walking and sampling the brew. 
This.
A very important article for you to read.
As an ex-submariner I can testify that as little as 1% CO2 can be headache inducing. I ran the calculations a couple years ago: a 5 gallon batch fermenting can easily reach that level in a small room.
Dude, I always knew you were cool but I didn't know you were a retired superhero!

Oh, you probably mean navy guy...that's cool too. Almost as cool as being Namor I guess.

As another former submariner I can testify to this.
As riding Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" ride once as a small child, I can testify to this.
