Abstract in brief

Sleep deprivation makes people feel bad and affects their emotions, but this study found that young adults are more affected than older adults.
The research involved young people (ages 18-30) and older people (ages 60-72) who either got enough sleep or were completely sleep-deprived.
The older group showed fewer negative feelings like sadness and anger after losing sleep, possibly because they are better at managing their emotions as they age.
