Scientists from the United States confirmed a famous saying.
Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States found that people who wake up with the expectation of a stressful stressful day, really live it. According to researchers, the only thing that people should be afraid of is fear. Because even if what you are afraid of does not happen, your internal forecast will distract the limited resources of memory and program it accordingly. It is reported today by the site Today. Lifestyle.
"People can foresee some events before they happen. This can help us prepare and even prevent certain situations, "explains one of the authors of the study, a cognitive psychologist Jinshil Hyun from the University of Pennsylvania. "But the above ability can also damage our memory, regardless of whether the expected stressful events occur or not".
To test their hypothesis, the team of researcher Zhinshil Hayan studied 240 people aged 25 to 65 years. Every day, participants in the experiment used an application for smartphones that measured their level of stress. The program asked people if they expect their day to be tense. In addition, throughout the day, subjects tested their current stress level five more times. Finally, at night they answered the main question: "What, according to their mood, will be tomorrow?".
At the end of the experiment, the researchers found that a higher level of expectation of possible stress and emotional stress in the morning was associated with memory impairment. Although, interestingly, the stress expected by the subjects in the evening did not affect the brain.
"People often say that breakfast is the most important meal, just as the emotional outlook in the morning is the foundation of your day. If you wake up with certain hopes for this day, in a sense, the anchor is already cast. Waiting for a busy day causes certain effects in the brain. And even if you do not experience any stressful situations, your mood will launch a negative program, "says the neuropsychologist Martin Sliwinski (Martin Sliwinski).
