Sleep Right Away Locks In Bad Memories and Emotions
Bump...this is good for me!
Snoozing after experiencing a traumatic event might forge the negative memories and emotions in the brain, a new study suggests. UMass researchers exposed 100 adults to unsettling images and then allowed half to sleep and kept the other half awake. Twelve hours later, the subjects who stayed up displayed a weaker emotional response and weaker memory of the images than the ones who slept, reports ABC News.
"Not only did sleep protect the memory, but it also protected the emotional reaction," says the study's co-author. "It's true that 'sleeping on it' is usually a good thing to do. It's just when something truly traumatic or out of the ordinary happens that you might want to stay awake." The study could have implications in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. - Newser
Saya memang suka tidur lebih-lebih lagi bila sedih. Kekadang bila terlalu fikirkan sesuatu benda yang menakutkan atau mengerikan, selalu terbawa-bawa dalam mimpi. Siap ada 'pelakon' tambahan lagi. Tapi...ada kaitan ke dengan study ini. Selain kesan emosi, adakah situasi terus tidur ini juga akan memberi mimpi buruk..huhu..Well, sekadar menambah ilmu pengetahuan. Kot-kot nanti nak buat study kat sini pulak..
