The top 30 signs you're tired and angry

SWNS

Nine in 10 people suffer from ‘tangry’ behaviour – being angry due to tiredness.  A poll of 2,000 adults revealed the signs of being tired include having a slow reaction speed, getting words muddled and putting an item of clothing on inside out.   While getting easily annoyed at others, forgetting why you walked into a room and getting the day of the week or date mixed up also featured in the Top 30 list.  The research was commissioned by Bensons for Beds who have worked with sleep expert, Dr Sophie Bostock, to develop a ‘Sleep Calm and Carry On’ programme [https://www.bensonsforbeds.co.uk/sleep-hub/sleep-calm-and-carry-on] to help improve the nation’s sleep wellness.   Dr Sophie Bostock, said: “Our sleep, wellbeing and behaviour are intimately linked. A lack of sleep can alter the emotional control centres of the brain, making us more sensitive to stress, and reducing self-control.”

00:30angry due to tiredness.

00:33Looks like someone got out of bed on the wrong side.

00:39Lack of sleep alters the emotional control centres of the brain, making us more sensitive

00:44to stress, more impulsive and aggressive, and less able to emphasise, and we can lash

00:49out in ways we later regret.

00:53Don't worry, three quarters of us do apologise for our tangry behaviour.

01:01If you recognise any of these, or any of the symptoms on screen now, lucky for you, there

01:26This can be solved with a nightly dose of decent shut-eye.

01:35world of difference.
