Those who are unable meet their sleep requirements are likely to face adverse health consequences, severe attention deficits being one of them. This, in turn, may lead to riskier decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>A team of researchers assessed the risk behavior of 14 healthy male students (18 to 28 years\u00a0old). They were given a choice between getting a particular amount of money paid out with a certain probability or playing it safe with a lesser amount of money paid out with surety. The riskier the decision, the more attractive the prize money.<\/p>\n<p>The results showed that 11 of 14 participants engaged in a clearly riskier decision-making behaviour. This behaviour worsened towards the end of the week. However, the researchers were surprised to see that the students did not notice themselves acting riskier when suffering from a lack of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The team stated that certain parts of the brain are unable to recover properly due to a chronic lack of sleep, leading to risky actions. They added that the findings of this study should be built up on, as they may have particular relevance for people involved wide-reaching decision-making.<\/p>\n<p><em><i>Source: Annals of Neurology<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rsz_shutterstock_530558158.jpg\" alt=\"1mg\" title=\"Lack Of Sleep Could Make You Take Risky Decisions\" width=\"630\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[124,231],"class_list":["post-28567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1mg-news","tag-healthy-eating-vitamins-minerals-nutrients","tag-sleep"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
