That growing rage you feel the later you put off lunch hour—which has become commonly known as being "hangry"—likely isn't just in your head. Austrian and Malaysian researchers have found that a lack of sustenance actually does seem to make people cranky, and it all started when the lead scientist on the project, social psychologist Viren Swami of the UK's Anglia Ruskin University, was told he's often hangry himself, reports the Guardian. That revelation spurred his new research in PLOS One, in which he and his colleagues had 64 adults ranging in age from 18 to 60 take part in a three-week experiment, in which they logged on a smartphone app their hunger levels, on a scale from zero to 100, at five different points each day as they went about their usual business.
