Abstract in brief
Disrupted sleep and wakefulness during the night can lead to problems with thinking, emotions, and behavior, compared to getting restful sleep.
Recent research shows that being awake at night not only affects next-day performance but also increases risks for behaviors like suicide, violence, and substance abuse, with changes in mood, reward, and decision-making seen during nighttime wakefulness.
The authors suggest that nighttime wakefulness may cause a cycle of attention to negatives, emotional disturbances, and reduced control by the prefrontal brain areas, which together contribute to mental health issues and risky behaviors.]
Really excited about our new paper led by @atubbs_sleep and featuring @PennMedicine Michael Perlis and @harvardmed Beth Klerman:

في منتصف الليل، حين ينام الجميع.
يبدأ عقلك بمراجعة الحياة، وجلد الذات، واستحضار كل ما تجاهلته نهارًا.
علميًا، يحدث ذلك لأن نشاط قشرة الدماغ الجبهية ينخفض فتضعف آليات كبح القلق، وتصبح الأفكار أكثر حدة ووضوحًا.

@NBinted Interestingly enough, the belief that decision making is impaired at night is somewhat scientifically supported, ex: https://t.co/dsnORCxmhG
Zihin gece uyanık kalmak için tasarlanmadı!
Çalışmaya göre gece yarısından sonra uyanık kalanların olumsuz düşüncelere odaklanma olasılığı daha yüksek ve ayrıca bağımlılıklara yönelik dürtülere karşı daha savunmasız zihinsel süreçle karşılaşılıyormuş.

"Sufficient sleep with minimal interruption during the circadian/biological night supports daytime cognition and emotional regulation.Conversely, disrupted sleep involving significant nocturnal wakefulness leads to cognitive and behavioral dysregulation"

@SlaggitySlag @theladykatie No. At night your body goes through changes. You have a day self and a night self if you will. We stop producing serotonin, cortisol is at its lowest, not to mention the changes happening in the brain.

CAUTION
Article contains discussion of suicide
Dopamine production peaks late at night.
Thus, uninterrupted sleep at night supports daytime cognition & emotional regulation, but disrupted sleep & significant nocturnal wakefulness leads to the opposite. https://t.co/orMnWZdbgN
