TToB: After not getting enough sleep, our mood is worse in the afternoon. Tough or Bluff???

Comments

BETTER, Especially if I take a nap under my desk at the office!

Judson Costello

Based on personal experience I got it right! I was surprised so many didn't. If I don't get the sleep I need, I feel like crapola when I wake up, but it gradually improves as the day goes on.

Heather Dube

The wording of this question is ambiguous. Is our mood in the afternoon worse on days we didn’t get enough sleep, than it is in the afternoon on days we got sufficient sleep? (Yes). Is our mood in the afternoon worse than it is in the morning, on days with a sleep deficit? (No)

Wow—I’m shocked only because I guessed correctly. I am always suspicious of what seems like an assumption 🤣

Amy

well.. isnt it worse all day long?! :D

It’s BLUFF! Our mood is worse in the morning and best in the evening, on average. (DOI: 10.1371/journal.pdig.0000439)

Exactly my thoughts!

I'm a chronic insomniac and I feel like I rally in the afternoons to survive. So bluff, possibly?

Ari

For me it is quality of sleep > quantity. Plus whatever I've eaten recently is a factor. Sometimes I wake up after 6 hours feel great, sometimes I get 9 hours and feel sluggish all day.

Worse, maybe. If "worse" encompasses sluggish & brain-foggy, which also contribute to being easily annoyed and grumpy.
