Negative Impacts of Sleep-Wake Rhythm Disturbances on Attention in Young Adults.

ABSTRACT: Sleep-wake rhythm disturbances have a negative impact on attention. However, how it affects attention and whether the restoration of regular rhythms can restore attention are unclear. This study aims to explore the effects of sleep-wake rhythm disturbances on three subfunctions of attention (alertness, orientation, and executive control) and the restoration of regular rhythms on these functions. Twenty-one participants in the experimental group (who experienced sleep-wake rhythm disturbances for at least one month; aged 18-26) were required to sleep regularly following a sleep schedule, whereas 20 participants in the control group (who maintained regular sleep for at least three months; aged 19-22) received no manipulation of their sleep. All participants were assessed using the attention
