Overtired can lead to crankiness

Just what most of us always knew researchers at Harvard Medical School and the University of California at Berkeley have discovered that there is a link between people who do not get enough sleep and crankiness?

What this does is cause the brain to overreact to any situation that would not normally cause any problems. This is why people who are fully rested are able to take different situations in their stride.

The problems lie with the brains frontal lobe, this part of the brain is responsible for the emotional responses, hence those who have had little sleep being snappy and aggressive.
