Sleep and circadian rhythm function and trait impulsivity: an actigraphy study
Impulsivity is a multidimensional trait of transdiagnostic importance across several psychiatric conditions. Multiple behavioural aspects are captured by the trait, including patterns of decreased inhibitory control, intolerance towards delayed gratification, non-planning of actions and lack of foresight for negative outcomes (Winstanley et al., 2006; Gullo et al., 2014).
