The Effects of Sleep Restriction and Extension on School-Age Children: What a Difference an Hour Makes.
Sadeh, Avi; Gruber, Reut; Raviv, Amiram
Child Development, v74 n2 p444-55 Mar-Apr 2003
Assessed effects of sleep restriction and extension on 9- to 12-year-olds' neurobehavioral functioning. Found that modest sleep restriction led to improved sleep quality but to reduced reported alertness. Children who extended sleep improved significantly from baseline their performance on the digit forward memory test and reaction time on the continuous performance test. Children who restricted or did not change their sleep deteriorated significantly on simple reaction time from baseline. (Author/KB)
