Abstract
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents worldwide. Research has shown that adolescents in a suicidal crisis may exhibit both sleep disturbances and impairments in cognitive inhibition. Poor sleep quality has been linked to worse clinical outcomes in psychiatric patients. Furthermore, difficulties with inhibitory control have been proposed to increase susceptibility to suicidality by altering one’s ability to inhibit intrusive suicidal thoughts. In fact, a previous study has shown that suicidal adolescents exhibited lower neural resources mobilized by inhibition processing compared to healthy adolescents.
