Restorative Effects of Daytime Naps on Inhibitory Control: A Neuroimaging Study Following Sleep Deprivation
Daytime naps significantly mitigate the cognitive deficits induced by SD through two primary mechanisms: (1) enhancing positive activation in task-relevant brain regions and (2) increasing negative activation in areas involved in the DMN. These findings provide novel insights into the neural basis of nap-induced cognitive recovery, underscoring the value of naps as an effective intervention to restore inhibitory control following SD.
