Young adult male students participated in a naturalistic, group-design experiment to ascertain the effects of one night's total sleep deprivation (TSD) on performance of diverse executive function tasks presented as an extended, multitask battery. On the majority of component tasks in this battery, performance has been reported to be impaired following one night's TSD when tasks are administered in isolation. However, participants sleep deprived 35 to 39 hr showed few performance deficits among tests in this battery when compared with non-sleep-deprived controls. Sleep-deprived participants showed only poorer recognition memory and overconfidence in incorrect temporal judgments. Behavioral and physiological adaptation to chronically sleep-restricting lifestyles may confer resistance to the cognitive effects of sleep deprivation in high-functioning young adults.
年轻成年男性学生参与了一项自然主义的群组设计实验,以确定一晚完全睡眠剥夺(TSD)对作为一个扩展的多任务组合呈现的各种执行功能任务表现的影响。据报道,在这个组合中的大多数组成任务中,当任务单独进行时,一晚的TSD后表现会受损。然而,与未睡眠剥夺的对照组相比,睡眠剥夺35至39小时的参与者在这个组合测试中几乎没有表现出缺陷。睡眠剥夺的参与者仅表现出较差的识别记忆和对错误时间判断的过度自信。对长期睡眠受限生活方式的行为和生理适应可能使高功能年轻成年人对睡眠剥夺的认知影响产生抵抗力。
