A meta-analytic investigation of the effect of sleep deprivation on inhibitory control.

Sleep deprivation may have a deleterious effect on inhibitory control; however, this effect is not consistent across studies. To arrive at an overall estimate of the relationship between sleep deprivation and inhibitory control, this report used meta-analysis to summarise the magnitude of the effects of sleep deprivation on inhibitory control as measured by the Go/No-Go and Stop Signal Tasks. These are two widely used tasks in the literature.

Abbreviated versions of the insomnia severity index to screen for comorbid insomnia among obstructive sleep apnea patients.

Study Objectives: The comorbidity of insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA) is common and associated with adverse clinical consequences. While insomnia is often underdiagnosed among individuals with OSA, the identification of insomnia among these individuals may lead to improved medical care. Our objective was to assess the performance of two simplified tools (insomnia severity index-2 (ISI-2) and ISI-3) to identify insomnia among individuals with OSA.

The moderating role of protective factors in shift work disorder and health outcomes: A cross-sectional study.

This study investigated whether sleep-specific (e.g. chronotype) and traditional (e.

Adaptive sleep behaviours and shift work tolerance during the transition to shift work.

Objective: To evaluate whether recruit paramedics adapt their sleep behaviour during the first 12-months of shift work and to identify sleep behaviours that are associated with better shift work tolerance (SWT) after 12-months of shift work.

Methods: Recruit paramedics (n = 105; M = 25.81 years; 51.
