The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and prospective memory in young adults. This investigation involved 115 cognitively healthy young adults aged between 17-28 years. Through scanning the QR code, participants completed two kinds of online questionnaires , including the Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory (CAPM) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The author used the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the independent samples t-test to examine the correlation between the average CAPM score and PSQI score. The study reveals that changes of sleep quality strongly affect prospective memory. There is a direct correlation between the two, i.e., the worse the sleep quality, the poorer the prospective memory. Those with PSQI score 5 had significantly lower prospective memory scores than those with PSQI score > 6. This work also aims to tests the reliability of measuring tools, thereby to provide a reference for the filed of neuroscience research.
