Effects of partial and acute total sleep deprivation on performance across cognitive domains, individuals and circadian phase.

<h4>Background</h4>Cognitive performance deteriorates during extended wakefulness and circadian phase misalignment, and some individuals are more affected than others. Whether performance is affected similarly across cognitive domains, or whether cognitive processes involving Executive F...
