Study of Sleep Quality and Thinking Skills in Healthy Adults Aged 18 to 35

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how sleep quality relates to cognitive functions in healthy young adults aged 18 to 35 years. This observational cross-sectional study evaluates both subjective sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire and objective sleep parameters collected via a wearable device worn continuously for five consecutive days. The study aims to understand links between sleep patterns and cognitive abilities like attention, executive function, and verbal memory in this population. Participants will wear a sleep monitoring device for five days to gather objective sleep data such as total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and sleep onset latency. After this period, they will attend one in-person session for cognitive testing using standardized neuropsychological tests including the Victoria Stroop Test for attention and executive function and the ktem Verbal Memory Processes Test for verbal memory. Demographic and background information will also be collected to support analysis. During the single assessment visit, participants will complete cognitive tests, and researchers will analyze associations between sleep measures and cognitive performance using statistical models. Subjective sleep quality from questionnaires and objective sleep data from the wearable device are the primary outcomes. The study does not involve treatment but focuses on observation and measurement. Total participation involves the five-day sleep monitoring plus one cognitive testing session.
