Self-reported sleep duration and cognitive performance in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Lo, J. C., Groeger, J. A., Cheng, G. H., Dijk, D.-J., & Chee, M. W. L. (2016). Self-reported sleep duration and cognitive performance in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Sleep medicine, 17, 87-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleep.2015.08.021

Sleep is important for optimal cognitive functioning across the lifespan. Among older adults (≥ 55 years), self-reported short and long sleep durations have been repeatedly, albeit inconsistently, reported to elevate the risk for poor cognitive funct...
