Sleep’s Role in Effortful Performance and Sociability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sleep, Personality, and Social Behavior

Abstract

How we perform at home, at work, with our families and with others is a function of many factors. Often the role of sleep in those activities is overlooked. Although people may anecdotally recognize that poor sleep makes them ill-tempered or easily distracted, the full scope of impairment associated with lack of sleep is rarely appreciated. Yet, as a growing literature shows, sleep quality and duration affect the ability to engage in effortful cognitive and behavioral tasks, including navigating and understanding social interactions. In addition, since sleep need varies, individual differences also impact the effect sleep or sleep loss has on our decisions to expend energy and on what activities those critical resources will be used. In the present chapter, we provide an overview of research exploring the role of sleep in the availability and use of psychological resources and energy, both in performance domains (e.g., academic and workplace) and in social behavior. Additionally, we discuss open questions and future research directions with an emphasis on gaps in our knowledge of how sleep impacts human performance and sociability.
