SLEEP DEFICITS AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AT DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES - METAANALYSIS
Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Aviation Medicine, Bioengineering and Psychology - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the article is to present the results of a meta-analysis of the relationship between sleep deficits and executive functions at different stages of human development (school age, young adults, older adults). Methods: The meta-analysis included 13 studies with a total of 625 participants, of which we extracted 24 comparisons regarding the age group, type of sleep deficiency, studied executive functions and their measurement methods. Results: Among the studied executive functions, sleep deficiency influenced cognitive shifting but had no relationship with inhibition of reactions or working memory. Discussion: The discussion focused on the differential influence of partial chronic sleep deficits, in comparison to a single instance of total sleep deficit, on executive functions. Conclusion: This meta-analysis supports the need to conduct further research on the influence of lack of sleep on executive functions in larger studies and in participants at different stages of development.
