Key Points

  • This research examines how sleep quality and age influence executive function in children.
  • Analysis of self-reported sleep quality in children
  • Assessment of executive function tasks requiring attentional control
  • Comparison of executive function across different age groups
  • Younger children show different executive function capabilities compared to older children
  • Poor sleep quality correlates with lower performance on executive function tasks
  • Improvements in sleep may lead to better cognitive outcomes in children

Abstract

The findings highlight age-related developmental improvements in EF. These findings suggest that self-reported sleep quality may impact EF tasks requiring attentional control and flexibility. Sleep quality impacts children's cognitive functioning, therefore improvements in sleep may enhance developmental outcomes.
