A study was conducted to determine the effects of sleep deprivation in 35 couples. For 10 nights researchers put the monitor in the house the couple to find their rest and activity cycles.
Wives who have trouble sleeping are likely to have negative interactions with the husband and his family the next day. In other words, the wife so easily, so easily ignited furious quarrel with her husband. The results were presented at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies meeting.
"Sleep disturbance experienced by the wife will lead to more interactions with the husband is negative. Conversely, if the husband is having trouble sleeping, there was no significant difference the next day," said Wendy Troxel, psychiatry from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, who did the research.
He explains, women who sleep less tend to become stressed, irritable and express their feelings verbally. "Men on the contrary, suppress their feelings or do not really care," he said.
The impact of sleep deprivation, according to Troxel will become a vicious circle. "Sleep disturbance will cause the mood is not stable, so the relationship with your partner can tenuous. This causes the burden of thinking that more and more difficult to sleep," he said.
He suggested that sleep disturbances may be overcome in clinical and counseling marriage if the relationship between husband and wife became estranged.
In previous studies, Troxel find the marriage unhappy wives rarely awakened from sleep at night. "If we are sleep deprived, we would not be able to do something well, including in relation to our communication with a partner," he said.
