Abstract: Objective To study the impairment of attention networks in patients with shift work sleep disorder (SWSD). Methods A total of 30 patients with SWSD and 26 matched healthy subjects were recruited to undergo attention network test (ANT). Results Compared with healthy subjects, the patients with SWSD showed significantly poorer efficiency on alerting attention and executive attention(P < 0.01).Furthermore, efficiency on executive attention was positively associated with the scores of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Conclusion Our findings suggest that patients with SWSD exhibited selective impairments of attention network of alerting and executive control.
