“…We previously demonstrated the sleep dependency of our task with a wake control group, and showed the beneficial effect of sleep over wakefulness on recognition memory performance [41; 40; 42]. The aim of the present study was to use behavioral performance data and ERPs following one night of sleep to examine the impact of individual differences in sleep duration on declarative (semantic, episodic) memory processes.…”

Research indicates that habitual short sleepers show more rapid accumulation of slow-wave sleep at the beginning of the night. Enhancement in performance on declarative memory tasks has been associated with early NonREM sleep, consisting of the highest percentage of slow-wave sleep. Twenty-four subjects (8 short sleepers ≤7 hrs, 9 average >7 but <9 hrs, 7 long ≥9hrs) were tested. Subjects were presented with unfamiliar face stimuli and asked to memorize them for a subsequent test. Following sleep, the subjects were presented with the 40 “old/studied” items intermixed with 40 new and asked to indicate the previously presented stimuli. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were analyzed to verify the existence of the “Old/New” effect, i.e. amplitude difference [in ERPs] between the old and new stimuli. ANOVA on the scores revealed a significant interaction between the stimuli and group. Post-hoc test on the studied items revealed more accurate responses in the short sleepers compared to the average and long sleepers. Strikingly, the long sleepers, failed to show significant retention of the old/studied items, with their recognition of old faces not different from chance. RT responses were faster for the old versus the new items. Pearson correlation revealed a significant negative correlation between accuracy and sleep duration in the short sleepers. However, long and average sleepers showed a positive correlation between the two variables. ANOVA performed on the ERPs revealed main effects of stimuli and site, and no interactions involving the group factor. In conclusion, our data show that individual differences in recognition memory performance may be associated with differences in habitual sleep duration.

“…Sleep loss has been shown to impair learning and memory in human (Polzella, 1975;Turner et al, 2007;Mograss et al, 2009) and animal studies (Youngblood et al, 1997;Smith et al, 1998;McDermott et al, 2003;Guan et al, 2004;Alhaider et al, 2010b). In addition, SD blocks the expression of LTP in the CA1 (Kim et al, 2005;McDermott et al, 2006;Alhaider et al, 2010b) and DG areas (Philip et al, 2002;Ishikawa et al, 2006).…”

Acute nicotine treatment prevents rem sleep deprivation‐induced learning and memory impairment in rat

et al. 2011

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation (SD) is implicated in impairment of spatial learning and memory and hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP). An increase in nicotine consumption among habitual smokers and initiation of tobacco use by nonsmokers was observed during SD. Although nicotine treatment was reported to attenuate the impairment of learning and memory and LTP associated with several mental disorders, the effect of nicotine on SD-induced learning and memory impairment has not been studied. Modified multiple platform paradigm was used to induce SD for 24 or 48 h during which rats were injected with saline or nicotine (1 mg kg(-1) s.c.) twice a day. In the radial arm water maze (RAWM) task, 24- or 48-h SD significantly impaired learning and short-term memory. In addition, extracellular recordings from CA1 and dentate gyrus (DG) regions of the hippocampus in urethane anesthetized rats showed a significant impairment of LTP after 24- and 48-h SD. Treatment of normal rats with nicotine for 24 or 48 h did not enhance spatial learning and memory or affect magnitude of LTP in the CA1 and DG regions. However, concurrent, acute treatment of rats with nicotine significantly attenuated SD-induced impairment of learning and STM and prevented SD-induced impairment of LTP in the CA1 and DG regions. These results show that acute nicotine treatment prevented the deleterious effect of sleep loss on cognitive abilities and synaptic plasticity.

“…These roles often entail long working hours combined with irregular shifts that can result in shortened sleep duration and insomnia, which can negatively impact cognitive performance [1,2]. However, previous research into the effects of sleep on face identification has measured effects of sleep restriction on memory consolidation; in recognition memory [3–5], perceptual adaptation [6] and perceptual learning tasks [7]. The impact of sleep restriction on face identification performance in commonplace tasks that do not involve memory, such as verifying photo-ID [8], has not been tested.…”

“…Importantly, because this previous work measures memory for faces encountered prior to sleep, it is not clear whether sleep also impairs perceptual encoding of face identity, which would mediate any impact on recognition memory performance. Indeed, indirect neurophysiological evidence suggests that deficits in face memory following total sleep deprivation may arise from encoding difficulties [3], and there is some evidence for reduced perceptual sensitivity following sleep restriction [11]. It is, therefore, surprising that studies have not tested this question directly, by measuring accuracy in sleep-restricted participants on face identification tasks that do not rely on memory storage.…”

Perceptual impairment in face identification with poor sleep

et al. 2016

Previous studies have shown impaired memory for faces following restricted sleep. However, it is not known whether lack of sleep impairs performance on face identification tasks that do not rely on recognition memory, despite these tasks being more prevalent in security and forensic professions—for example, in photo-ID checks at national borders. Here we tested whether poor sleep affects accuracy on a standard test of face-matching ability that does not place demands on memory: the Glasgow Face-Matching Task (GFMT). In Experiment 1, participants who reported sleep disturbance consistent with insomnia disorder show impaired accuracy on the GFMT when compared with participants reporting normal sleep behaviour. In Experiment 2, we then used a sleep diary method to compare GFMT accuracy in a control group to participants reporting poor sleep on three consecutive nights—and again found lower accuracy scores in the short sleep group. In both experiments, reduced face-matching accuracy in those with poorer sleep was not associated with lower confidence in their decisions, carrying implications for occupational settings where identification errors made with high confidence can have serious outcomes. These results suggest that sleep-related impairments in face memory reflect difficulties in perceptual encoding of identity, and point towards metacognitive impairment in face matching following poor sleep.
