Abstract in brief

This meta-analysis examines how short-term (48 hours) sleep deprivation affects different cognitive functions, focusing on measures of speed and accuracy across six categories including attention, memory, processing speed, and reasoning.
The results show that sleep deprivation impacts some cognitive areas more than others, with effect sizes ranging from small and non-significant to large, especially in simple attention and lapses.
Variability in results is partly explained by the amount of time participants were awake, but differences in test types might also contribute to inconsistent findings across studies.]
