Why does lack of sleep make a person irritable? (Physiology aspect)
In: Biology
It creates a change in your mood, an altered state of mind. If you’re tired, you need to sleep, whether you can or not. It makes achieving sleep homeostasis a priority. Other things, such as school performance, work performance, and being your normal, ordinary self, are going to be more difficult to maintain, especially if sleep deprivation continues. This naturally creates stress. Irritability is a side effect of sleep deprivation and isn’t always present in someone experiencing it. It’s all based on the individual and how they deal with the stress of sleep deprivation.
