The latest research shows that people who often feel lonely may not only encounter some misfortunes during the day, but also have a good sleep at night.
Dr. John T. Cacioppo, the head of the research project, told the Reuters health columnist: "People sometimes think that family and friends are not important, but health and status are the key." But the latest research found that all aspects of society will also affect our health. "
"If our social relations are poor, even negative, or relatively lacking, our health will deteriorate." Cacioppo also pointed out that.
The researchers studied 54 college students to determine the effect of loneliness on sleep quality. The number of people with loneliness, moderate loneliness and no loneliness were 16, 17 and 2 1 respectively.
The observation of the subjects' sleep in the laboratory shows that people with loneliness have poor sleep quality, that is, they sleep for a short time and usually wake up earlier than those without loneliness. Similar to the researchers' previous estimates, the sleep quality of moderately lonely people is between the two.
The research results were published in the sixth issue of the Journal of Psychology.
In another independent study, Cacioppo's research team observed the sleep status of subjects at home for five consecutive nights. The study included 37 participants from the original research team.
The research report shows that, on the whole, the sleep quality of college students at home is very similar to that in the laboratory.
Compared with the other two types of people, people with loneliness have poor sleep quality. However, it is reported that women can get more sleep than men, sleeping 36 minutes more.
Cacioppo said that previous studies have shown that others can partially affect our mental state and behavior by causing some beneficial physiological changes in our lives, such as improving the quality of sleep, and the research results support this view.
So for some people, they want to know how to save time and keep enough energy to laugh. The answer to tomorrow's secret is simple. In cacioppo's words: "Have good interpersonal relationships."
