Note sull'episodio
  • The Concept: Pulling an all-nighter does more than make you tired; it turns off the brain's emotional regulation center. This episode explains how a lack of sleep severs the connection between the rational prefrontal cortex and the emotional amygdala, making us wildly reactive and emotionally volatile.
