Article Synopsis
- The study examined how reduced sleep affects attention in children using a 5-minute task on a digital device.
- The 14 female participants, aged around 10.6 years, were tested before and after getting either 5 hours (restricted) or 10 hours (control) of sleep.
- Results showed that sleep restriction led to slower response times and more lapses, indicating that inadequate sleep negatively impacts attention, similar to findings in adults.
