Abstract in brief

  • Sleep deprivation, whether total or partial, increases the likelihood of forming false memories by causing individuals to incorporate misleading information during memory retrieval.
  • Both young adults and adolescents who experienced sleep loss were more prone to false memories compared to well-rested individuals, highlighting the importance of adequate sleep for accurate memory.
  • The study suggests that assessing an eyewitness's sleep history may be crucial, especially after exposure to misleading information, to ensure memory reliability.]
