Sleep quality affects decision-making ability
Poor sleep quality is associated with increase in odds of clinically significant decline in executive function.
A study has found that Fragmented or lower sleep efficiency may affect executive function as it is linked to decline in cognitive abilities of older people over a period of three to four years.
BBC health reported that Poor sleep quality is associated with a 40 to 50 percent increase in the odds of clinically significant decline in executive function, which was similar in magnitude to the effect of a five-year increase in age.
