Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To investigate the relationship between sleep and cognitive function among adolescent subjects in Riyadh.

METHODS

The sample consisted of 98 (44% female) subjects aged 10-16 years. Each participant filled in a well-structured pre-coded questionnaire regarding demographic data, including a sleep questionnaire; cognitive function was assessed using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Automated Battery (CANTAB). The cognitive function outcome variables were response times in the attention-switching task (AST) and the percentage of correct answers in the pattern recognition memory (PRM) task.

RESULTS

There were significant differences in measures of AST-latency (p=0.005), AST-congruent (p=0.012), and AST-incongruent (p=0.009), while no significant difference was found in the PRM task score (p=0.336) within gender groups. There was a significant correlation between sleep and AST switching cost (0.277, p=0.006) and sleep and AST latency (0.188, p=0.063) across the group.

CONCLUSION

This study showed that gender differences in cognitive function were significant in the group of adolescents. Additionally, this study shows that insufficient sleep can impair attention and accuracy in adolescents.

摘要

目的

调查利雅得青少年受试者的睡眠与认知功能之间的关系。

方法

该样本由 98 名（44%为女性）年龄在 10-16 岁的受试者组成。每位参与者都填写了一份关于人口统计学数据的、结构良好的预编码问卷，包括一份睡眠问卷；认知功能使用剑桥神经心理学自动化电池（CANTAB）进行评估。认知功能的结果变量是注意力转换任务（AST）中的反应时间和模式识别记忆（PRM）任务中的正确答案百分比。

结果

在 AST-潜伏期（p=0.005）、AST-一致（p=0.012）和 AST-不一致（p=0.009）方面，性别组之间存在显著差异，而 PRM 任务得分（p=0.336）无显著差异。在整个组中，睡眠与 AST 转换成本（0.277，p=0.006）和睡眠与 AST 潜伏期（0.188，p=0.063）之间存在显著相关性。
