Variability in Cumulative Habitual Sleep Duration Predicts Waking Functional Connectivity

Conclusions:This study improves understanding of the relationship between intranetwork and internetwork functional connectivity of intrinsically connected networks (ICNs) in relation to habitual sleep quality and duration. The cumulative amount of sleep that participants achieved over a 14-d period was significantly predictive of intranetwork and inter-network functional connectivity of ICNs, an observation that may underlie the link between sleep status and cognitive performance.Citation:Khalsa S, Mayhew SD, Przezdzik I, Wilson R, Hale J, Goldstone A, Bagary M, Bagshaw AP.
