Effects of Afternoon Nap Deprivation on Adult Habitual Nappers’ Inhibition Functions

Figure 1

Schematic representation of one experimental session; the exact times of night sleep and daytime nap were identified according to each participant’s schedule. The three cognitive tasks were performed in pseudorandom order on one specific experimental day and were identical for participants across nap and nap-deprivation conditions. Among these tasks, PVT always came first, and the sequence of the Go/No-go and Flanker tasks was counterbalanced across the participants.
