SUMMARY:

Recent studies associate the prolonged and excessive use of new technologies, such as tablets, computers and smartphones, with sleep deprivation, with suggestions of negative impacts on quality and duration of sleep, and of morning consequences of impaired sleep, such as non-restorative sleep and daytime sleepiness. Most of those studies focus on younger age groups, such as children, adolescents and young adults, and mostly on the use of technology for leisure, with few considering the impact of excessive technology use on other age groups, especially on professionals who work directly and for long periods with said technologies, such as programmers, developers and software engineers. Among the long-term effects of this sleep deprivation, we can mention the impairments of cognitive functioning associated with reduced or poor quality of sleep: the most recent literature brings evidence of impairments to processes such as memory, attention and executive functions. Among those, research on the impact of sleep deprivation on executive functions stands out for its conflicting results, with losses in simpler tasks contrasting with the maintenance of executive functioning in cognitively more complex tasks. Processes such as inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility and working memory, classified as executive functions, are of great importance for the individual's functionality in different spheres of life, from daily activities to job performance, suggesting the importance of further research regarding the effects of sleep deprivation on these functions. In view of these three factors - sleep deprivation, excessive use of technology and impairment of executive functions, this study aims to investigate sleep deprivation and potential impacts on executive functions in a population of adult programmers, using subjective methods (neuropsychological tests) and objective methods (P300 wave analysis), compared to a control group without sleep deprivation symptoms and who does not use information technology for work.
