这项研究评估了适度的睡眠限制和延长对儿童神经行为功能（NBF）的影响。使用活动监测器对 77 名儿童（年龄：M = 10.6 岁；范围 = 9.1-12.2 岁）的睡眠进行了 5 个晚上的监测。这些孩子（39 名男孩和 38 名女孩）都在正规的四年级和六年级班级上学。他们的 NBF 在正常睡眠时间表的第二天通过计算机测试进行评估。第三天晚上，孩子们被要求在接下来的三个晚上将睡眠时间延长或限制一个小时。在实验性睡眠操纵后的第六天，他们的 NBF 被重新评估。睡眠限制可以改善睡眠质量并降低报告的警觉性。睡眠操纵对 NBF 测量产生了显着的差异性影响。这些影响可能具有重大的发育和临床意义。
This study assessed the effects of modest sleep restriction and extension on children's neurobehavioral functioning (NBF). The sleep of 77 children (age: M = 10.6 years; range = 9.1-12.2 years) was monitored for 5 nights with activity monitors. These children (39 boys and 38 girls) were all attending regular 4th- and 6th-grade classes. Their NBF was assessed using computerized tests on the 2nd day of their normal sleep schedule. On the 3rd evening, the children were asked to extend or restrict their sleep by an hour on the following 3 nights. Their NBF was reassessed on the 6th day following the experimental sleep manipulation. Sleep restriction led to improved sleep quality and to reduced reported alertness. The sleep manipulation led to significant differential effects on NBF measures. These effects may have significant developmental and clinical implications.
