Ключ к долгим, счастливым и здоровым relationsм ‒ достаточный
sleep, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley found out.
Psychologist Amy Gordon and his colleagues found that sleepy people
romantic partners feel too tired to
say “thank you” to each other, as a result it becomes for them
for granted.
�”Lack of sleep can make us more selfish, we
We are starting to put our own needs above the needs of our partners, ”
– says Gordon. – “Even if you get enough sleep like a baby, but your
partner is not getting enough, both of you end up becoming
grouchy. “
For many couples, the bed can turn into a battlefield due
that one of them snores loudly, pulls the blanket over himself,
knocks on the keyboard of the laptop, and at this time another partner
tossing from side to side. “
The researchers conducted two experiments, each of which
More than 60 couples of different ages participated. First experiment
each participant kept a sleep log, and
analyzed how the quality of night sleep affected their assessment of the second
halves. During the second experiment, couples were asked
perform problem assignments, and the one who slept poorly in the previous
night, showed less appreciation towards
to your partner.
Scientists like to show that everyday experience of bad sleep
adversely affects the sense of gratitude towards
to other people. And this feeling is very important because it helps
form and maintain close social ties. Bad dream –
it is not only what we experienced in solitude. It affects our
interaction with other people.
