Effects of long sleep time and irregular sleep–wake rhythm on cognitive function in older people

Abstract Sleep disturbances and cognitive decline are common in older adults. We aimed to investigate the effects of the total sleep time (TST) and sleep–wake rhythm on executive function and working memory in older adults. In 63 older participants, we measured the TST, wake after sleep onset (WASO)...
