Abstract

Circadian rhythms influence cognitive performance even under high sleep pressure.

  • Circadian rhythms affect sleep-wake cycles and alertness in all living organisms.
  • Cognitive performance can vary throughout the day due to circadian modulation.
  • Complex cognitive tasks, such as selective attention and executive function, are influenced by circadian rhythms.
  • Misalignment of circadian rhythms is linked to various sleep disorders.
  • Circadian rhythm sleep disorders may impair cognitive performance and negatively impact quality of life and safety.
