How better sleep improves productivity and concentration
“The role of sleep in cognition and emotion.” This review, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, discusses how better sleep improves various cognitive and emotional processes, including learning and memory consolidation, attention, and decision-making.
“The effects of sleep deprivation on cognition.” This review, published in the journal Nature and Science of Sleep, discusses the negative effects of sleep deprivation on various aspects of cognitive function, including attention, memory, and decision-making.
“The impact of sleep on executive functions: Implications for education and work.” This review, published in the journal Developmental Review, discusses the relationship between sleep and executive functions such as planning, problem-solving, and decision-making, and how these functions are impaired by sleep deprivation.
“The effects of sleep on performance: A meta-analysis.” This meta-analysis, published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews, analyzed the results of multiple studies and found that sleep deprivation is associated with reduced performance and increased errors on tasks that require attention, memory, and decision-making.
Overall, these articles demonstrate that sleep is important for various cognitive and emotional functions, and that sleep deprivation can impair performance and cognitive function. Conversely, better sleep should provide a reversed effect to sleep deprivation, improving performance and cognitive function.
