Detect the relationship between lack of sleep and feeling of pain

When we have trouble sleeping, we feel pain, but how does it happen with the human body? Researchers at the University of California, USA, responded to this question by identifying sleeping disorders in the sleep deprived brain, intensifying and prolonging pain.
In a study published yesterday in the Journal of Neuroscience, the research team observed changes in areas of brain pain after lack of sleep, with some areas being swollen, others less active. To prove it, the team conducted an experiment to test brain activity with pain after a night's sleep and a night's sleep. As study details progressed, uncomfortable heat levels were applied to the legs of more than 20 healthy adults, and participants felt uncomfortable at 111 degrees Fahrenheit (about 44 degrees Celsius). After a full night of sleep, others after a sleepless night.
The study found that the vast majority of people without sleep reported early pain at around 107 degrees Fahrenheit, which means that their sensitivity to pain increased after insufficient sleep, while the group who slept enough did. Ability to bear the pain.
Adam Krauss, associated with the study, told Asharq Al-Awsat: "We have identified an area of ​​the somatosensory cortex, which usually works to record the severity of incoming pain signals, and we found that the lack of sleep resulted in a violent response.The insula and nucleus accumbens, who receive pain signals and use natural painkillers to respond to it. "
This means that sleep loss causes pain by disrupting the brain's ability to accurately record and respond to pain signals when it occurs.The injury of two people can be one, but each sensation of pain depends on the assessment of the brain because of the person's sleep state is good or not ".
