Napping restores working memory and brain activation impaired by sleep deprivation
Daytime naps mitigate SD-related WM deficits by rebalancing task-positive network activation (cerebellum, thalamus) and enhancing DMN suppression. These findings elucidate neurophysiological mechanisms of sleep-cognition interactions, supporting naps as a practical intervention for SD-induced cognitive impairment.
