Introduction: Poor sleep quality can lead to negative effects on cognitive performance. However, the association between sleep quality and person's ability to inhibit a habitual response has not been investigated yet. In this study, the relationship between sleep quality and cognitive function with subjects’ performance in numerical Stroop test (NST) was investigated.
Methods: 21 male and female volunteers underwent NST. Sleep quality and cognitive function were evaluated using Pittsburgh sleep quality and cognitive disabilities index questionnaires, respectively. Finally, the correlation between sleep quality and cognitive disability indices with NST parameters was measured.
Results: Unfavorable sleep quality and cognitive disability were significantly correlated with decreased the reaction time of subjects in NST. In addition, a significant correlation was observed between lower sleep quality and cognitive disability.
Conclusion: It is concluded that poor sleep quality reduces the ability to inhibit a habitual response. In addition, poor sleep quality increases individuals' impulsive decisions. Furthermore, cognitive performance is negatively influenced by poor sleep quality.
