Several recent investigations report a correlation between shorter sleep duration and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. In a recent study, Nota, Schubert, and Coles (2016) investigated the potential underlying mechanism of this correlation and found that shorter sleep duration was associated with worse inhibitory performance on a go/no-go task (only in individuals with more severe OCD symptoms). As the authors describe, the relationship between deficient inhibition and OCD symptoms was established in several previous studies. Nota et al.(2016) concluded that a lack of proper sleep makes it harder to inhibit repetitive thoughts and behaviors. If so, the question then becomes why. Here, we propose that alertness, not sleeping per-se, may drive the impaired inhibition and OCD symptoms.
