How a bad night s sleep makes your social life less good

A good night's sleep has a positive influence on everything and anything. New research shows that it can also make you feel less lonely.

How's that?
When you are tired, you are less likely to let people get close. Keeping people at a distance doesn't lead to social interactions and that can make you feel lonely. It was discovered by getting someone closer and closer in the investigation. The subjects could press a button to make it stop. Tired people pressed the button faster.

On the other hand, a second test item showed that tired people look less sociable. A good night's sleep probably not only makes it easier for you to let people around you, it also makes you look more approachable when you're rested.

A reminder:a good night's sleep has these positive effects on your life
