Abstract
Background: Sleep deprivation (SD) is widely recognized for its negative impact on both cognitive abilities and social interactions. Nonetheless, the effect of sleep deprivation on interpersonal trust in social scenarios is poorly understood.
Purpose: This study investigated the impact of total sleep deprivation on interpersonal trust under two different social scenarios: kindness and unkindness.
Patients and methods: All participants (N = 49) completed the Social Mindfulness paradigm (SoMi) after both normal sleep (NS) and SD. Alertness changes were assessed using the Psychomotor Vigilance test (PVT) and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS).
Results: Our results demonstrated that SD significantly impaired interpersonal trust when perceiving unkind intentions but did not affect trust in kind intentions (p < 0.05). Additionally, this detrimental effect was not related to changes in alertness (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that SD selectively impacts interpersonal trust, and this effect is not influenced by simple cognitive functions such as alertness. Further research could incorporate brain imaging techniques to explore the association of other cognitive and affective factors with interpersonal trust after sleep loss.
期刊介绍:
Nature and Science of Sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
Specific topics covered in the journal include:
The functions of sleep in humans and other animals
Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep
The genetics of sleep and sleep differences
The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness
Sleep changes with development and with age
Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause)
The science and nature of dreams
Sleep disorders
Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life
Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders
Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health)
The microbiome and sleep
Chronotherapy
Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally
Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption
Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms
Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
