Your sleep-deprived self can be a jerk

Nova Podcasts
About this episode

How much we sleep, or don’t sleep, impacts our moral awareness! Dr Katharina Lederle explores if in her book Sleep Sense. Our moral awareness relies on us being able to self regulate – and when we’re tired, we get pretty bad at keeping ourselves in check. Basically, our sleep deprived self can be a jerk! So how can we help ourselves out?
