Alcohol is a sedative, but it dents your sleep quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Not sleeping enough leads to mood swings, being irritable, high levels of anxiety and you won&#8217;t care much about others as your empathy does a runner. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And if you&#8217;ve got work or studies to do then concentration, decision-making, creativity and productivity all take &#8220;a nosedive&#8221;, according to sleep scientist Prof Russel Foster, from the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">You&#8217;re also more likely to take risks and be impulsive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s bad for safety. Even after a one-hour clock change, there&#8217;s a higher incidence of road traffic accidents,&#8221; says Dr Victoria Revell, from the University of Surrey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">So you might want to weigh up if you need to drive today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">You can read more about how to handle the aftermath of a 2:00 BST kick off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c3wyel830w8o\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whatever your sleep strategy, you&#8217;re going to be tired todaypublished at 05:42 BST 05:42 BST Image source, Getty&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":527312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-527311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/527312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
