    Theoretical Framework

    The document discusses several theoretical frameworks for understanding the effects of sleep deprivation on cognition. It describes how experimental studies have found that sleep deprivation degrades overall cognitive performance due to circadian rhythms. However, little is known about its effects on specific cognitive processes. The document evaluates different frameworks by describing their foundations, predictors of outcomes, and relationships identified. It also summarizes several studies on how sleep loss from disorders like apnea causes neurocognitive declines, and how individual vulnerability to sleep loss may better explain performance differences than previously believed.

    Theoretical Framework

    Sleep deficiency is progressively being shown to be a significant impediment to learning, cognition, and
    memory in adolescents. Sleep disorders affect behavior, social competence, and quality of life, and they
    are more common than educators and health professionals realize. Students are suffering from sleep
    deprivation, which is having an adverse effect on their academic performance.

    Experimental and modeling studies of the impact of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance have
    mostly concentrated on global outcome measures so far (Durmer & Dinges, 2005; Van Dongen, 2004).
    Overall output degrades as a result of the amount of time spent awake, which is influenced by the
    circadian rhythm (Van Dongen & Dinges, 2005). However, little is known about the impact of sleep
    deprivation on specific performance outcomes, such as RT distributions, or improvements in specific
    cognitive components, such as decision-making processes. Attempts are being made to close this gap
    using computational modeling based on cognitive architectures (Gunzelmann, Gluck, Price, Van Dongen,
    & Dinges, 2007), but these attempts must be driven by detailed knowledge about which cognitive
    processes are influenced by sleep deprivation and how.

    As a way of evaluating the concept of sleep deprivation for each framework specified, we describe the
    framework's foundation, framed predictors, key relationships between predictors and outcomes, and
    limitations.

    Durmer & Dinges, 2005

    Sleep loss caused by disease-related sleep fragmentation such as sleep apnea and restless legs
    syndrome causes neurocognitive function declines similar to those observed in sleep restriction studies.
    Individual vulnerability to sleep loss may play a more critical role than previously thought in
    performance deficiencies associated with sleep disorders. Attempts indicate that individual vulnerability
    to sleep loss may play a more critical role than previously thought.

    Van Dongen, 2004

    Sleep deprivation caused neurobehavioral deficiencies that differed substantially amongst people but
    remained consistent among them. Interindividual discrepancies in neurobehavioral reactions to sleep
    deprivation were not solely due to sleep history differences. Rather, they involved a trait-like differential
    susceptibility to sleep deprivation deficiency, for which no neurobiologic correlations have been found.

    Gunzelmann, Gluck, Price, Van Dongen, & Dinges, 2007

    Sleep deprivation reduces one's ability to perform cognitive tasks, but hypotheses vary from suggesting
    a general decrease in cognitive performance to alleging severe executive function deficits.
