FALL IN LOVE
Fall in love, our last sleep hack.
One study on high school students showed that honeymoon romantics…
1. Had more energy
2. Slept about 1 hour less than a control group
3. Reported greater subjective sleep quality
The romantics were characterized as subclinical hypomaniacs.
Hypomania is an attitude of mind characterized by elated emotions,
fast-paced thoughts, increased risk-taking,
and
occasional euphoria.
A side effect of hypomania appears to be a reduced need for sleep and improved subjective sleep quality.
While “hypomania” is a term usually reserved for neurological “disorders”,
apparently it is possible to attain subclinical (i.e. “normal”) hypomania by falling in love.
Unfortunately,
this effect was not shown for couples that were past the honeymoon stage in their relationship
