“…Sleep has important functions that are fundamental for the regulation of emotion, reward system and cognition (Abel, Havekes, Saletin, & Walker, 2013;Fairholme & Mamber, 2015;Goldstein & Walker, 2014;Perogamvros & Schwartz, 2015;Raven et al, 2017;Van Someren et al, 2015;Walker, 2009Walker, , 2010Walker & van der Helm, 2009). Insomnia and sleep loss have been proposed to lead to maladaptive emotional regulation, and consequently to exaggerated neural and behavioural reactivity to experiences and reward (Altena et al, 2016;Baglioni et al, 2010;Boudebesse & Henry, 2012;Gujar et al, 2011;Krause et al, 2017;McKenna & Eyler, 2012;Yoo, Gujar, Hu, Jolesz, & Walker, 2007). In addition, they are related to impairments in basic cognitive functions and higher-order cognitive processing of executive functions involved in supervisory control, problem-solving, flexibility, self-control and decision-making (Killgore, 2010;Krause et al, 2017;Ma, Dinges, Basner, & Rao, 2015;Pilcher, Morris, Donnelly, & Feigl, 2015;Raven et al, 2017;Rossa, Smith, Allan, & Sullivan, 2014;Simon et al, 2015;Venkatraman, Chuah, Huettel, & Chee, 2007), as well as to impulsive and aggressive behaviours (Acheson, Richards, & de Wit, 2007;Kamphuis et al, 2014;Rossa et al, 2014) and, consequently, to the increased risk of suicidality (for an overview, see Woznica et al, 2015).…”
