This cross-sectional study showed that real-world differences in sleep duration but not subjective sleep quality are related to cognitive performance measures and - as indicated by fractional anisotropy measures in the SLF - white matter integrity in healthy, young adults, suggesting a detrimental effect of shorter sleep duration on brain structure and function.
