Sleeping less than normal impacts how we feel the next morning.
“Not in the sense that we have more negative feelings, like being down or depressed. But participants in our study experienced a flattening of emotions when they slept less than normal. They felt less joy, enthusiasm, attention and fulfilment,” says Associate Professor Ingvild Saksvik-Lehouillier at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s (NTNU) Department of Psychology.
Most sleep research is done in laboratories, but Saksvik-Lehouillier and the NTNU research team studied participants who slept at home.ы
