SHOCK: LOSING TWO HOURS OF SLEEP EACH NIGHT MAKES YOU ANGRY

Researchers at Iowa State University found losing sleep makes you angry. The findings were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology. Participants were split into two groups. One kept to their normal sleep routine while the other had theirs cut by two to four hours each night for two nights. The first group had almost seven hours of sleep a night, while the second group got about four and a half hours. Both groups were then asked to rate different products while listening to irritating noise. The researchers said this was meant to create uncomfortable conditions and provoke feelings of anger. The results: “In general, anger was substantially higher for those who were sleep restricted.”
