@Ian, there has been some research http://voxelfab.com/blog/2013/07/is-desktop-3d-printing-safe-will-it-harm-your-health-ultrafine-particle-emissions-and-vapors/ (not really definitive but it is a start)
if you think that printing next to your bed is bad for your health, then stop it. if the headaches disappears than it probably was the machine.
The thing is not a lot of dedicated research has been done because of the new nature of the technique.
If placed in a big enough room with a decent air flow i don't think 3d printing is that bad for you. but placing it next to your bed and possibly not having enough good ventilation might not be such a good idea.
Take care of your health!
But to be back OT:
this is my Ultimaker Corner

Maybe it's just the noise of the printer causing bad sleep thus causing headaches?
I print a lot in PLA/PHA from colorfabb in a room next to my bedroom, i also stay quite a lot working in the room and i never experienced headaches...
