Never mind the chill pill – take a shot of shut-eye instead.
A quick nap can help you master your emotions, say
researchers at the University of Michigan. People who
snoozed for an hour showed a much higher threshold for
frustration than non-nappers, and they invested twice as
much time trying to solve a complex task. According to
study author Jennifer Goldschmied, the longer you’re
awake – even if you don’t feel tired – the more your
emotional control diminishes. Don’t have an hour to
burn? Thirty minutes should be nearly as effective.
