Abstract in brief

  • The study found that people who are sleep-deprived are perceived as less healthy, more tired, and less attractive compared to after a normal night's sleep, based on photographs rated by observers.
  • Sleep deprivation led to significant changes in perception, with ratings showing decreased health (mean 63 vs. 68), increased tiredness (mean 53 vs. 44), and decreased attractiveness (mean 38 vs. 40).
  • These findings suggest that facial cues related to sleep deprivation influence social and clinical judgments, highlighting the importance of sleep for overall appearance and perceived health, which could impact social interactions and medical decision-making.]

Lack of #sleep decreases #attractiveness. Facial cues of sleep-deprived people cause others to judge them as less healthy, more tired, and less attractive. https://t.co/hPFHkidc25
