Sleep deprivation linked to negative emotions


I'm forever on my clients about getting enough sleep as a means of recovery from their workouts, but there's an emotional link to the story as well. Radiologist Seung-Schik Yoo of Brigham & Women's Hospital conducted a study where MRI testing proved that people who slack on sleep experience stronger negative emotions the following day after poor/inadequate sleep.


Moral of the story: if you want to feel refreshed, positive, and experience positive results from your workouts, make sure you get enough sleep every night. Additionally, try going to sleep and waking up around the same time every night- even on the weekends.
