"Prior to our study, it was not clear what was responsible for the emotional impairments triggered by sleep loss," said professor Talma Hendler of TAU's Sackler Faculty of Medicine.

The team assumed that sleep loss would intensify the processing of emotional images and thus impede brain capacity for executive functions. We were actually surprised to find that it significantly impacts the processing of both neutral and emotionally-charged images," Hendler added. "It turns out we lose our neutrality. The ability of the brain to tell what's important is compromised. It's as if suddenly everything is important," she said.
