Science Summary: Less sleep affect humans mood.

Researchers belief less sleep affect humans mood. They also establish it can affect humans learning abilities and it make them feel exhausted. Researchers indicates if anyone missed two or three nights of sleep, they may have difficulty with concentrating, losing attention, and they might feel irritated. People will get distracted and loss focus because of getting less sleep (Textbook, Pg.115). Professor Avi Saden and her team of researchers from Aviv University's School of Psychological Sciences indicates that if someone or something interrupts you from sleeping it is detriment as no sleep at all. " The researchers discovered that interrupted sleep is equivalent to no more than four consecutive hours of sleep." They found new parents get less sleep because of their baby waking up that night. Those parents reported that they feel more exhausted when they wake up in the morning than how they felt at night. Professor Avi allowed students to volunteer at Tan's school of psychological sciences. she gave each student wristwatch to use at home. It tells when they will be going to sleep and when they will wake up. The students slept full eight hours of sleep at night but they waked couple of times by phone calls. Professor told them to complete a computer task after they wake up. They were asked to complete the computer tasks so the professor and the team could check their mood. At the end, their experiment shows a link between compromised attention and negative mood. The conclusion does supported what we have read in class because they both have the same idea and thoughts (ScienceDaily).
