Adding more to this is another research conducted by a team from Tel Aviv University. The experts suggest that If you feel cranky or grumpy after a night without sleep, it is because your brain's ability to regulate emotions gets compromised by fatigue. This is bad news for adults who get less than six hours of sleep in night.
The team identified the neurological mechanism responsible for disturbed emotion regulation and increased anxiety due to only one night's lack of sleep. The research reveals the changes sleep deprivation can impose on our ability to regulate emotions and allocate brain resources for cognitive processing.
