Public Sticky notes
Exactly why lack of sleep can have such a profound effect on our psychological
and emotional well-being is a question that scientists are just beginning to
tackle. But one key factor may be that when we don’t get enough sleep, the
part of the brain behind our foreheads that controls our thoughts,
behaviours and emotions (the prefrontal lobe) doesn’t function efficiently.
Our rational mind, the executive centre that keeps us on an even keel, is
overwhelmed by our feelings, no matter how negative.
