Total sleep deprivation reduces top-down regulation of emotion without altering bottom-up affective processing.

Sleep loss is reported to influence affective processing, causing changes in overall mood and altering emotion regulation. These aspects of affective processing are seldom investigated together, making it difficult to determine whether total sleep deprivation has a global effect on how affective sti...
