Anger ruins your sleep

We all know the adage that you should never go to bed in the midst of an argu ment, but it turns out anger doesn’t just affect your relationship -it also ruins your sleep. Research by experts at Iowa State University , US, has concluded that people who are angry and don’t express their frustration have a worse night’s sleep than those who are more expressive, or just patient.

During the study , 436 participants were split into three groups depending on how they dealt with anger. Based on questionnaires, they were categorised as `anger-in’ or `anger-out’, subject to whether or not they expressed their rage; people who stayed calm under pressure fell into the `anger-control’ group. The results, according to the report, could be because such people keep themselves awake by dwelling on their frustrations.
