When the pressure makes you feel tired, do you choose to continue a cup of coffee or just sleep for a while?

A study by researchers from the Empire Institute of London and Chinese institutions in "Science" showed that stress -induced sleep can help us handle stress reactions and reduce the anxiety level the next day.

Researchers have caused a psychological and social pressure called social failure, which is used as simulated by human bullying. When mice stayed with particularly aggressive mice, the researchers noticed that they escaped or fighting hormones in their blood, indicating pressure. Subsequently, the researchers followed their neurons activities. Once the mice wake up, the researchers will test their anxiety reactions to see how sleep affects their stress behavior.

The results showed that after a few hours of the pressure of social failure, a group of special neurons induced sleep. This sleep reduced the pressure and hormones of mice, while reducing anxiety caused by stress. The mice that do not get pressure -induced sleep have been staying in the dark for a longer time, which indicates that they are more anxious, and their pressure hormonal levels are still high.
