![]() This sort of chase is (supposedly) made possible because the club is jammed with hundreds of partying customers, and the music is pumped up so high that gunshots aren't heard. This sets up a desperate three-way situation in which Vincent and the dealers are searching the club for the bag and one another, while Alex and her partner seek Vincent. He hides the bag, and his hiding place is found by one of his police pursuers, Alex ( Dominique Bettenfeld), who moves it to another hiding place. He's followed there by two other cops from Internal Affairs. Vincent goes to Marciano's nightclub, a seemingly endless labyrinth of rooms, stages, bars and restaurants, where most of the film will take place. “(Sleep loss) radically alters how we are as social, emotional beings, which you could argue is the very essence of human interaction and what it means to live a fulfilling, meaningful human existence,” Walker said.Cut to the suburban nightclub headquarters of Jose Marciano ( Serge Riaboukine), the powerful drug dealer whose men have kidnapped Vincent's son, Thomas ( Samy Seghir), and want to trade him for the drugs. Now, as evidence increasingly becomes available on its negative impact on social behavior, it could have consequences for society today, Walker added.īen Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to reclaim a full night of sleep without embarrassment or the stigma of laziness. More than half of all people in developed countries say they get insufficient sleep during the work week, which Walker calls a “global sleep-loss epidemic.” Extensive research has already shown links to mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as physical ailments such as diabetes and obesity. She added that, while the methodological limitations mean that the mechanisms – if any – that underpin these findings cannot be judged, the study is original and creative, “which raises some stimulating questions and asks for replication of findings in a more focused and targeted way.” Rosenzweig, who heads the Sleep and Brain Plasticity Centre at King’s College London, told CNN that this “points to the importance of sleep of good quality and quantity to the overall balanced social and cognitive functioning, including altruism.” “These findings could suggest that once sleep duration rises above some basic nominal amount, then it appears to be the quality of that sleep that is most critical for aiding and supporting our desire to help other people,” she explained. Sleep quantity and quality both typically influence emotional and social behavior, so the team was expecting to find an effect from both, Ben Simon told CNN. ![]() The team assessed levels of selfishness based on responses to questionnaires that had been completed by study participants. ![]() In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that quality of sleep was more important than the quantity of sleep when it came to measuring selfishness. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician and consultant neuropsychiatrist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in the UK, who was not involved in the study. “Sleep has been consistently shown to affect our mood and our cognitive functioning, and thus, it also likely affects how we relate to others,” said Dr. Theory of mind is the ability to consider other people’s needs, states and emotions, which typically develops in early childhood with socialization. The prosocial neural network – the areas of the brain associated with theory of mind – was less active after sleep deprivation, this study found. In the second study, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging to look at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. This drop was not seen in states that don’t follow the one-hour transition forward. “When people lose one hour of sleep, there’s a clear hit on our innate human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need.”īy looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 20, Ben Simon, Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time. “Even just an hour of sleep loss was more than enough to influence the choice to help another,” said Ben Simon, a postdoctoral fellow of psychology at the Center for Human Sleep Science. ![]() 8 reasons why you wake up tired, and how to fix it
