Functionally, emotion regulation can also refer to processes such as the tendency to focus one's attention to a task and the ability to suppress inappropriate behavior under instruction. Emotion regulation is a highly significant function in human life. [6] Every day, people are continually exposed to a wide variety of potentially arousing stimuli.
The dysregulation model is supported by neuroanatomical, physiological, and subjective self-report studies. Emotional brain regions (e.g. the amygdala) have shown 60% greater reactivity to emotionally negative photographs following one night of sleep deprivation, as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging.

[17] [18] The specific domains include 1) impaired emotional and attention regulation, 2) misinterpretation of stimuli, 3) impaired sensitivity to social context, and 4) dysfunction of the reward system. [17] For example, some studies have shown youths with DMDD to have problems interpreting the social cues and emotional expressions of others.

They found that, when compared to individuals who have never had a depressive episode, previously and currently depressed individuals tended to use maladaptive ...
Those with anxiety, panic and sleep problems commonly have negative emotions and thoughts, depression, suicidal ideations, and often have comorbid depressive disorders. While the anxiolytic and hypnotic effects of benzodiazepines may disappear as tolerance develops, depression and impulsivity with high suicidal risk commonly persist. [ 44 ]
