New Study: Lack Of Sleep=Loneliness, No Friends
Have you ever been so tired that you avoid people? You just don’t have the energy to socialize. When I’m sleepy I try to avoid interactions because I don’t want to appear grumpy.
A new study proves that you don’t feel like being around friends or coworkers because you don’t get enough sleep — and the feeling is mutual.
Researchers at the Center for Human Sleep Science at UC Berkeley say your lousy, sleep-deprived-driven attitude makes others not want to be around you, either.
The study says being chronically sleep-deprived leads people to be anti-social, and in turn, lonely — particularly because their attitude makes them “socially unattractive to others.”
They say, “It’s perhaps no coincidence that the past few decades have seen a marked increase in loneliness and an equally dramatic decrease in sleep duration. Without sufficient sleep we become a social turn-off, and loneliness soon kicks in.”
To make it even worse, now we know this, so we have something else to lose sleep over.
