Hi Nikhil,
Thanks for writing your query.
It is a normal phenomenon that less sleep can result in headaches.
But, if the headache is single sided, it can be due to Migraine headaches which can be triggered by less sleep, in addition to many other factors.
You should sleep at least 7-8 hours for a healthy body.
Doing yoga and meditation will be helpful.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
