Latest research showed that lack of sleep can affect changes of personal character and quality of making decision in a moral dilemma

Walter Reed Scientist research was done on 26 healthy volunteer who were denied sleep.

After they had not slept for 53 hours, the examinees had to make decisions on moral dilemmas. The results have shown that it took them longer time to decide or that they were quite disturbed.

Persons who lacked sleep also accepted solutions that were not in harmony with their moral principles.
