Why do i always get a headache when i dont get a lot of sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reason: Lack of sleep interrupts with your biologic cycle (chronobiology) and if happens regularly may lead to many long-term illnesses including mental deterioration. Migraine is one condition which is often triggered by irregular sleep habit. Most people need 7 hour of sleep to stay healthy (what do you mean by a lot of sleep?)
