A recent study published in the journal, Current Biology, found that people are over 60% more reactive to emotional situations when they don't get enough sleep. Researchers at the University of California report that sleep deprivation affects the part of the brain responsible for keeping irrational thoughts and behaviours in check. To keep from blowing your stack, aim for at least eight hours of shut-eye a night. If you aren't able to catch enough sleep, try to avoid or reschedule scenarios that could push you over the edge.
