With the inner monologue, we build and define ourselves. It reflects how the brain processes information, planning decisions and motivating models of behaviors. The brain wants to be in balance. Crises are registered in our brain system – which kicks off problem-solving processes.

John Axelsson – Cognitive Abilities during Lack of Sleep
John Axelsson, professor in sleep and expert in Neuroscience has together with a research group at Karolinska Institutet conducted a study measuring impaired cognitive abilities in newly awaken states. The study was done on doctors, a high-risk group of stress and sleep deprivation, working night shifts. Functions measured identify the impact on mathematical ability, word- and working memory etc.
Cognition is the root of all mental processes. Cognitive functions such as impulse control, working memory and problem-solving ability can all be affected by sleep/lack of sleep. These functions can be measured. With tools now available on the market.

Predrag Petrovic on Executive Function in Our Cognitive Profile
Cognitive Neuroscientist and psychiatrist Predrag Petrovic visited the Swedish podcast Psykologisk Forskning discussing his one-of-a-kind study on executive functions in the unexplored research area of football. Executive functions are concepts for mechanisms controlling the way we handle and adjust information affecting our behaviour. We can find out how to use our strengths and compensate for our weaknesses.
The focus is not on the individual’s good or bad qualities, but on the measurable cognitive profile. Understanding cognition is essential for you to contextually consider the impact on sleep, stress, performance/function and wellbeing.
