Sleep quality and small-world brain functional network in healthy adults: a resting-state functional MRI study

Introduction: Sleep disturbance, which relates to emotional and cognitive dysfunctions, is receiving greater attention as it is increasingly observed in the general population. Previous neuroimaging studies of sleep dysfunction have mostly focused on patients with sleep disorders or healthy individuals who were sleep deprived in experimental settings. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms related to sleep quality in the healthy population. Thus, the current cross-sectional neuroimaging study was aimed to investigate a relationship between sleep quality and topological properties of small-world brain functional network in healthy adults using graph theoretical analysis.
