Relationships: Nights little sleep may be responsible for problems between couples.
 
Couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties should assess the quality of your sleep, because, according to the findings of a new U.S. study, poor sleep can be one of the guilty individuals feel rejected by their partners. The study, based on reports from more than 60 couples, was presented this weekend at the annual meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychologists, New Orleans, USA.
 
According to Amie Gordorn, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, little sleep and can barely make people become more selfish without realizing, as they lose the mood and feel too tired to be kind and thoughtful to your partner - which, in turn, begins to feel rejected. She realized this after evaluating more than 60 couples formed by people between 18 and 56 years.
 
Gratitude - The research was conducted in two parts: first, the team met the participants and asked them to report whether they slept well or poorly the night before and then enumerassem the five things that they felt more grateful. According to the authors of the study, individuals who reported having a night of poor sleep were less than those included in their list of partners gratitude.
 
In a second phase of the study, couples were asked to maintain for two weeks, a diary in which they reported their sleep patterns and how they believed that a sleepless night for them and their partners affected their relationships. They also described their feelings toward the partner.

According to the researchers, poor sleep increases the propensity of an individual to feel more selfish and show little affection towards his partner. Moreover, people feel less appreciated by his fellow if either slept badly. "A bad sleep is not an experience that only affects one person.
Instead, it interferes in our relations with others, "says Gordon.
