Sleep also shows how much you have the guts to take risks - study

Our sleep shows how risk-seeking we are: Getting enough sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. According to experts, it is necessary to take at least seven to eight hours of sleep in a day. This makes you feel fresh and healthy. But, you know that your sleep can also reveal how much power you have to take risks. Researchers from the University of Bern, Switzerland, have found in a study that a person's brain waves during sleep determine the ability to take or cope with danger. 54 people were included in the study, who usually sat for seven to eight hours. According to neuroscientist Daria Knoch, 'The slower the waves in a person's right prefrontal cortex during deep sleep, the greater is his or her vulnerability to risk. This area of ​​the brain is important for controlling one's own impulses, among other functions.

During deep sleep the waves are slow. This indicates good sleep quality. The topographical distribution of slow waves in the brain is highly individual and highly stable over time.

This means that each person has a unique neuronal sleep profile. The findings of this study have been published in the journal Neuroimage.

What the experts say?
According to Lorena R.R. Gianotti, who led the study, 'a person's slow wave profile can only be correctly interpreted during normal sleep.'

Mirjam Studler, a doctoral student and first author of the study, said, "Undisturbed measurement of brain activity during sleep in a familiar environment and high density of data gathered by 64 electrodes is a constellation in sleep research." As is rare. This allows the participants to fall asleep naturally and allows us to collect huge amounts of data.”
