Popis: Purpose To investigate the interaction between (1) sleep and the COVID-19 pandemic; and (2) social cumulative risk and COVID-19 pandemic on executive function (EF). Methods Forty late adolescents/young adults (19.25 ± 1.12 y.o.) completed sleep questionnaires and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function- Adults (BRIEF-A) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, yielding 80 observations for data analysis. Multilevel random-effects models with interaction terms were used to estimate the associations. Results Compared to pre-pandemic sleep, participants slept 24 min longer (t = −2.07, p = 0.03) and also had increased sleep latency (t = −1.83, p = 0.07) during COVID-19. Mid-sleep times shifted 40 min later (t = −3.22, p = 0.003), and BRIEF-A scores increased (indicating greater dysfunction), during the pandemic (p
