Insomnia not only damages health, but also human relationships. Conflicts between couples usually come to the fore after a bad night with little rest, according to a study just published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science . The work reveals that one of the factors that leads couples to get into harmful and unnecessary arguments is spending a sleepless night.
As Amie Gordon and her colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) have been able to conclude after studying more than 100 couples for two years, this phenomenon is explained because the lack of night's rest reduces the ability to avoid and handle conflicts . The ability to evaluate the emotions of the sentimental partner is also clearly diminished after a sleepless night.
