Are you angry at your spouse? Or Hangry?

Most of us know we get grumpier and more irritable when we’re hungry.  Without fuel our brains find it harder to control emotions so a little anger can become a bigger anger when we are hungry.  Hence, the term hangry is for hungry and angry.

“The take-home message from this [study] would be to make sure you’re not hungry when you talk about important issues with your spouse,” Bushman says.  And I would add, increase your awareness that you may feel your emotions more intensely when you are hungry.  Take your hunger into account.
