Sleep and circadian rhythm function and trait impulsivity: An actigraphy study
Sleep and daily body clock patterns linked to natural impulsive behavior
AI simplified
Abstract
High impulsive individuals exhibited phase-delayed patterns of sleep and reduced sleep efficiency.
- Daily rest-activity patterns were linked to trait impulsivity in 51 healthy young adults.
- Participants with higher impulsivity had decreased total sleep time and disrupted circadian function.
- There was a correlation between impulsivity and greater self-reported symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
- Sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances may be associated with impulsive traits similar to those in certain psychiatric conditions.
