Research has examined the impact of poor sleep on executive control and related abilities, but the inverse relationship has received less attention. Youth completed objective executive control tasks in childhood ( = 208; = 10.03; 50.5% girls) and self-report measures of sleep-wake problems and daytime sleepiness in early adolescence ( = 12.00). Poorer interference suppression and flexible shifting abilities both predicted sleep-wake problems, but response inhibition and working memory did not. For daytime sleepiness, interference suppression was the only significant predictor among executive control components. Socioeconomic status did not moderate any of these associations. Findings have implications for targeting specific executive control abilities in childhood to improve sleep outcomes later in development.
研究已经考察了睡眠不足对执行控制及相关能力的影响，但这种反向关系较少受到关注。研究中，青少年在童年时期完成了客观的执行控制任务（n = 208；M = 10.03；50.5%为女孩），并在青春期早期完成了关于睡眠-觉醒问题和日间嗜睡的自我报告测量（M = 12.00）。较差的干扰抑制和灵活转换能力均能预测睡眠-觉醒问题，但反应抑制和工作记忆则不能。对于日间嗜睡，干扰抑制是执行控制各成分中唯一显著的预测因素。社会经济地位并未调节这些关联中的任何一种。研究结果对于在童年时期针对特定的执行控制能力进行干预，以改善后期发育中的睡眠结果具有启示意义。
