A recent meta-analysis has shown that individuals with insomnia exhibit performance impairments of small to moderate magnitude in several cognitive functions, including working memory, episodic memory, and some aspects of executive functioning.82 However, an important factor that has been neglected in meta-analytic research of the neurocognitive literature is the role of the degree of objective sleep disturbance in this association. As we have recently reviewed,59 most studies have shown that cognitive performance is impaired in patients with insomnia with objective sleep disturbances or that it correlates with objective markers of sleep disturbance in patients with insomnia, whereas those studies in which performance was not significantly impaired established insomnia diagnoses using solely subjective criteria.59Cumulatively, the data from these studies indicate that objective short sleep duration may predict its effect on cognitive functions. Future studies should examine whether insomnia with objective short sleep duration may be a premorbid risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.
