About this listen
Sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on cognitive performance. When we don’t get enough sleep, it affects our attention, working memory, long-term memory, decision-making, and other cognitive functions.
Both acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction can impair cognitive performance. In acute total sleep deprivation, the complete absence of sleep for some time can have profound effects on our ability to focus, remember information, and make sound judgments. On the other hand, chronic partial sleep restriction, where we consistently get less sleep than we need over an extended period, can also have detrimental effects on cognitive function.
