Never go to bed angry

Sleep and emotions connected:

Research has shown that going to sleep depending on emotional stages does cause changes of the sleeping ways. Experimenting with 100 odd people by showing them pictures be it neutral, negative or positive. Around 12 hours later, or the next morning, they see the difference between with a positive emotion to neutral and negative to measure their brain activity by looking at the rapid eye movement. Or when they sleep, it shows that the brain, due to the emotional state, brings out memories or experiences that have been preserved of the same emotion in a dream. So they say sleeping when you are angry is one reason why many people having restless nights, or sleepless nights. Adding to that, sleep also increases the emotional state of memories.

Reading this, I realize that there are time when I fall asleep angry or with a negative mood, I don't usually sleep as well as I would. For me, sleeping is something I love to do, so if I am going to be angry when I am about to sleep, I usually start to think of something positive to change my mind. I would never really think that due to the happens of my emotions, my brain would bring out memories of which resemble my emotions when I went to sleep. I always thought that it is what you think about last is what causes your dreams to come out as what they are. Well I guess that was the same thing. But if my negative emotion before going to bed is going to give a restless night, then I guess now I would be trying to sleep in a positive emotion.
