About this listen
Explore the intricate link between your mind and body in this episode. We delve into 'distress tolerance', your capacity to endure and manage challenging emotional and physical states. We also break down 'reaction time; and 'psychomotor vigilance', key measures of how quickly and effectively you respond to stimuli, often assessed by tasks like the PVT, which is highly sensitive to 'sleep deprivation'. Learn how sleep loss not only directly impairs reaction times and vigilance but also significantly reduces your distress tolerance. Discover the complex, often indirect relationship between low distress tolerance and impaired cognitive performance, mediated primarily by your ability to 'regulate emotions' and exert 'cognitive control'. When distress tolerance is low, attention can be captured by negative emotions, diverting crucial resources needed for tasks requiring quick reactions and sustained focus. Tune in to understand how these factors jointly impact your cognitive resilience and daily functioning.
