Reasons for missing sleep in love When someone falls in love, he loses his peace of mind and sleep, he neither feels hungry nor thirsty. He loses his senses and keeps thinking only about his love. Elders call it a requirement of age or immaturity but do you know what is the real reason behind this? If not, then let us know why one loses sleep in love with someone…
Love…more intoxicating than alcohol and drugs
Love has a similar effect on the body as alcohol and drugs. Sometimes it becomes more intoxicating than alcohol and drugs. It also causes addiction. Research at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, has shown a connection between love and drug-alcohol addiction. According to research, whenever someone takes drugs or alcohol, many chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline and vasopressin start getting released in his blood, which causes a different kind of happiness in the body. In search of this, he takes drugs again and gradually gets addicted.
Why does sleep disappear when you are in love?
Even if one is thirsty for someone, the brain releases dopamine and oxytocin. The body and mind enjoy it. To feel this again, one wants to be near his love, i.e. partner, remembers him/her and talks to him/her on the phone. Gradually, one gets addicted to it. In this intoxication of love, the body produces extra energy, due to which one feels hyperactive and sleep goes away.
Who loses more sleep in love, boys or girls?
Research in ‘Behavioral Sleep Medicine’ has shown that the effect of love on sleep varies according to gender. Girls in love are more affected in their sleep than boys. In many cases, this effect can be double. It may also happen that after the breakup, the girl spends the whole night sleeping and the boy sleeps comfortably with his legs stretched out. The reason for this is girls being emotional and their hormonal imbalance.
Some people sell horses to sleep in love
If love is new then it forces one to stay awake all night but when love is old, permanent and more intense then it can act like a sleeping pill. Research conducted on 600 couples in the ‘University of Turkey’ revealed that if one has a loving partner then the quality of sleep becomes very good. It is exactly like the love between a mother and child.
Just like a child lying next to his mother feels safe and falls asleep when his head is stroked or patted, a similar feeling is experienced with a loving partner. Then his partner feels safe, relaxed and falls into a deep sleep.
