So in other words, and then worse still, when you interact with a sleep-deprived individual and we ask you, the sleep-rested individual, how are you feeling right now? Are you feeling engaged? Are you feeling lonely? They feel significantly more lonely as a consequence of interacting with the lonely sleep-deprived individual.

They're checked out, but in some ways, it's viral transmission of becoming asocial. There is a social repulsion force from a sleep-deprived individual that not only makes you step away from them and not engage with them, but it makes you feel even more lonely having interacted with them.

And you can see this in all manner, sleep deprived individual, people who are more sleep deprived are less likely to engage, for example, in voting during elections. So fundamental aspects of how our civilization operates are dependent on the interlaced factor of sleep at a high level. But then you can step down to the level, let's say, of brain function and hear it.

The profile that you see is a high anxious, socially withdrawn, sort of depressogenic natured sort of patient or individual. And why would you? Now, there are circumstances where you would because they're your family member, they're your loved one. And so you will help them. But if it's just another individual, you'll shy away from them. So that stunned me in terms of that aspect.

And then I can walk you through, I won't bore you, but we can go down to the level of the individual and look at their brain and their brain networks will start to disintegrate when you are sleep deprived. You

lose what's called your prefrontal executive control, which is a very fancy way of saying you go from an evolved homo sapien to essentially regressing back to your impulsive emotional tendencies because you lose that regulatory break. from your high level executive frontal lobe. You're not making good choices. You're starting to become more reward sensitive.

You're more risk taking and sensation seeking. You are emotionally unstable. You have pendulum like swings because your brain has lost the emotional break to its accelerated gas pedal. And you're learning in memory. Take a nosedive like a dart into the ground. And performance. And then your performance in terms of your cognitive speed, your speed of processing, all of those things degrade.
