As we known, consequences caused by Sleep deprivation (SD) are temporary and can be fully reversed with sufficient sleep. However, in many cases, long-duration recovery sleep is not feasible. Inspire by recent study, a short nap may be sufficient for rapid reversal of SD-induced brain function deficits. Based on dynamic functional connectivity and psychomotor vigilance task, our results showed that temporary cognitive impairment cause by SD could reversed to some extent by a nap. Additionally, dominant DFC states differed before and after SD, and their relative proportions affected the degree of cognitive impairment after SD and recovery after a nap.
