Without sufficient sleep, do human beings become anxious and socially withdrawn? In a series of studies, we demonstrate that sleep loss, even rather modest amounts, results in otherwise healthy individuals becoming significantly more anxious, and in addition, more asocial and lonelier. We further identify the underlying neural and sleep-physiological mechanisms underlying such complex social and emotional impairments.
