The researchers took make- up free photos of the volunteers .after both two nights’ good sleep and two nights’ bad sleep.

Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge them on attractiveness ,health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them, “How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?

The, strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score. was low The strangers also said they wouldn't want to make friends with the tired students.

Who might be rill It meant that strangers wanted to make friends who were attractive and energetic.
