Sleep deprivation stands as a major threat to both physical and mental well-being, disrupting normal work and life. Given the ubiquity of risky decision making, it is crucial to comprehend how individuals make risky decisions when sleep-deprived. Although research on the effects of sleep deprivation on risky decision making has increased in recent years, it remains limited and lacks a unified conclusion. The current review attempted to elucidate the effects of sleep deprivation on risky decision making in healthy adults and clarify the regulatory mechanisms. The review showed that sleep deprivation had complex effects on risky decision making; that is, whether sleep deprivation led to riskier or more conservative decision-making behavior depended on factors such as sex, gain-loss frame, use of psychotropic drugs, time interval of sleep elimination, duration of sleep deprivation, and others. Additionally, the complexity of these effects might partly arise from the use of different tasks to measure risk-taking behavior. The review also discussed some limitations of existing research and put forth practical recommendations for future studies, aiming to resolve inconsistencies in the effects of sleep deprivation on risky decision making and enhance the ecological validity of conclusions.
睡眠剥夺对身心健康构成重大威胁，扰乱正常的工作和生活。鉴于风险决策无处不在，了解个体在睡眠不足时如何做出风险决策至关重要。尽管近年来关于睡眠剥夺对风险决策影响的研究有所增加，但仍然有限且缺乏统一结论。本综述试图阐明睡眠剥夺对健康成年人风险决策的影响，并阐明调节机制。综述表明，睡眠剥夺对风险决策有复杂的影响；也就是说，睡眠剥夺是否导致更冒险或更保守的决策行为取决于性别、得失框架、精神药物的使用、睡眠消除的时间间隔、睡眠剥夺的持续时间等因素。此外，这些影响的复杂性可能部分源于使用不同任务来测量冒险行为。综述还讨论了现有研究的一些局限性，并为未来研究提出了实际建议，旨在解决睡眠剥夺对风险决策影响方面的不一致性，并提高结论的生态效度。
