10 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Extensive empirical research demonstrates that night sleep deprivation consistently impairs human cognitive performance, particularly affecting sustained attention, executive function, working memory, and decision-making.

The analysis

The retrieved papers overwhelmingly support the claim that night sleep deprivation impairs human cognitive performance, documenting deficits across attention, executive function, working memory, and operational tasks. No papers refute this relationship.
