KDKim Robin van DaalenJBJoan Ballester

Key Points

  • This research aims to examine how rising temperatures influence sleep patterns and cognitive abilities across different demographics.
  • Climate change simulations were used to assess future temperatures.
  • The study analyzed the impacts of sleep loss on cognitive abilities in children.
  • Socio-economic costs related to cognitive decline were estimated.
  • Projected global sleep erosion due to increasing temperatures.
  • Disproportionate effects identified among older adults, women, and low-income populations.
  • Potential decline in children's cognitive abilities linked to sleep disruption.

Abstract

High temperatures disrupt sleep worldwide, with disproportionate impacts on older adults, women and populations in lower-income countries. A new study uses climate change simulations to project future global sleep erosion, and in turn, the decline in childhood general cognitive ability and associated socio-economic costs.
