We used Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality. To measure frontotemporally mediated cognitive functioning, following tests were administered: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and degraded continuous performance test (CPT-DS). Two-tailed independent samples t tests or Mann–Whitney U tests and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were performed for the statistical analysis of sleep latency, sleep duration, overall sleep quality, CPT d’ value, WCST correct answers, errors, and perseverative errors.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Participants with MDD and poor sleep quality performed worse on cognitive tests compared to patients with MDD and good sleep quality.
