Lack Of Sleep Linked To Selfishness

A lack of sleep has been linked to selfishness.

Researchers at the University of California found a bad night's sleep affects people's behaviour in social situations, with tired people more likely to ignore the needs of others.

The findings were compiled by studying people's behaviour when they had a good night's sleep versus poor rest, as well as by analysing 15 years of charitable donations in the US, which saw a 10 percent drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time.

The researchers hope their findings will allow people to reclaim a full night of sleep without embarrassment or the stigma of laziness.
