The impact of sleep deprivation on decision making: a review
Yvonne Harrison,James Horne +1 more
TL;DR: SD presents particular difficulties for sleep-deprived decision makers who require these latter skills during emergency situations, as well as decision-making models developed outside SD, as does a neuropsychological explanation of sleep function.

Examining the Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Workplace Deviance: A Self-Regulatory Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrate psychological and neurocognitive perspectives to examine the effects of sleep deprivation on workplace deviance and find that sleep deprivation is correlated with workplace deviant behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep, cognition, and normal aging: integrating a half century of multidisciplinary research.
TL;DR: The literature is interpreted as suggesting that maintaining good sleep quality, at least in young adulthood and middle age, promotes better cognitive functioning and serves to protect against age-related cognitive declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Loss and “Divergent” Thinking Ability
TL;DR: It is found that 1 night of sleep loss can affect divergent thinking, and the outcome for convergent thinking tasks, which are more resilient to short-term sleep loss, is more resilient than that for convergence thinking tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive deterioration and changes of P300 during total sleep deprivation.
TL;DR: The P300 changes that occur during sleep deprivation are a reflection of the decrement in vigilance, which prolongs reaction time, which suggests that higher complex cognitive function might be not affected by 38 h of total sleep deprivation.

Age, sleep deprivation, and performance
Wilse B. Webb,C M Levy +1 more
TL;DR: Men 18–22 and 40–49 yrs old were repeatedly given a battery of monitoring, persistence, and cognitive tasks over an extended period of sleep deprivation, with the older subjects more affected by the acute deprivation of sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
A further analysis of age and sleep deprivation effects.
TL;DR: The younger subjects have the larger subjective decrements while the older subjects had the larger decrements on the persistence tasks and the results were mixed on the precision and cognitively demanding tasks.
