WASHINGTON: A study has shown that losing only a few hours of sleep at night makes you more angry, especially in frustrating situations.
Other studies have shown a link between sleep and anger, but questions remain about whether sleep loss is to blame or whether anger is responsible for the sleep disturbance, said Zlatan Krizan, a professor at the University of Toronto. Iowa State University in the United States.
The research, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, answers these questions and provides new information about our ability to adapt to irritating conditions when we are tired.
"Despite the usual tendency to get used to the irritating conditions – an uncomfortable shirt or a barking dog – people with sleep disorders showed a tendency to anger and distress, essentially reversing their ability. to adapt to frustrating conditions, that before, "Krizan said.

An important habit is to stay well hydrated. If you have trouble drinking plain water, you can try adding lemon or fresh fruit to the water. Water is important for keeping the immune system healthy and eliminating toxins.
The study participants were randomly divided into two groups: one maintained normal sleep and the second limited sleep for two to four hours per night for two nights.
Those who stayed on average slept nearly seven hours a night on average, while the small group had four and a half hours each night.
The difference reflects the sleep loss we experience regularly in daily life, said Krizan.
To measure anger, the researchers invited participants, before and after sleep manipulation, to evaluate different products while listening to a brown noise (similar to the sound of water spray) or a more aggressive white noise (similar to a static signal). ).
Krizan said the goal was to create uncomfortable conditions, which tend to cause anger.
"In general, the anger was significantly higher in people with sleep disorders." We manipulated how annoying the noise was during the task and, as expected, people reported more anger when the noise was more unpleasant. "said Krizan.
"When sleep was limited, people expressed even more anger, regardless of noise," he said.
It is well established that losing sleep increases negative emotions, such as anxiety and sadness, and decreases positive emotions, such as happiness and enthusiasm, said Krizan.
The researchers measured these effects to more generally understand the relationship between sleep, anger and emotions. Krizan said that sleep loss had a unique impact on anger, and not only resulted in a more negative feeling at that time.
They also checked whether subjective sleepiness explained more intense feelings of anger.
Drowsiness accounted for 50% of the experimental effect of sleep restriction on anger, suggesting that the feeling of drowsiness of individuals might indicate whether they are likely to become angry, Krizan said.
