Did you consume extra coffee to combat drowsiness? Pulsating sensation in both temples can be caused by increased heart rate and/or blood pressure. Anxiety,stress,heavier caffeine intake can cause these symptoms. If sleep deprivation causes stress the next day, prominent bitemporal pulsations could occur. In your case, I predict that the symptoms will resolve with relaxation.

You may be under a lot of anxiety or stress of some incident that happened that day or of a future problem you are aware of. Are you on medications that you forgot to take?
