How sleep habits, sleepiness, and sticking with tasks relate to attention in elementary school children

Parent/guardian-reported task persistence may influence the relationship between sleep duration, social jetlag, and sleep-disordered breathing risk with Psychomotor Vigilance Test performance.

• Sleep duration is associated with performance on the Psychomotor Vigilance Test.
• Social jetlag may impact task performance as measured by the Psychomotor Vigilance Test.
• Sleep-disordered breathing risk could be linked to lowered performance in vigilance tasks.
• Subjective sleepiness may show similar indirect associations with task performance.
