Acute mountain sickness and sleep disturbances differentially influence cognition and mood during rapid ascent to 3000 and 4050 m
The impact of acute mountain sickness (AMS) and sleep disturbances on mood and cognition at two altitudes relevant to the working and tourist population is unknown. Twenty unacclimatized lowlanders were exposed to either 3000 m (n = 10; 526 mmHg) or 4050 m (n = 10; 460 mmHg) for 20 h in a hypobaric...

description | The impact of acute mountain sickness (AMS) and sleep disturbances on mood and cognition at two altitudes relevant to the working and tourist population is unknown. Twenty unacclimatized lowlanders were exposed to either 3000 m (n = 10; 526 mmHg) or 4050 m (n = 10; 460 mmHg) for 20 h in a hypobaric chamber. AMS prevalence and severity was assessed using the Environmental Symptoms Questionnaire (ESQ) and an AMS‐C score ≥ 0.7 indicated sickness. While sleeping for one night both at sea level (SL) and high altitude (HA), a wrist motion detector was used to measure awakenings (Awak, events/h) and sleep efficiency (Eff, %). If Eff was ≥85%, individuals were considered a good sleeper (Sleep+). Mood and cognition were assessed using the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metric and Mood Scale (ANAM‐MS). The ESQ and ANAM‐MS were administered in the morning both at SL and after 20 h at HA. AMS severity (mean ± SE; 1.82 ± 0.27 vs. 0.20 ± 0.27), AMS prevalence (90% vs. 10%), depression (0.63 ± 0.23 vs. 0.00 ± 0.24) Awak (15.6 ± 1.6 vs. 10.1 ± 1.6 events/h), and DeSHr (38.5 ± 6.3 vs. 13.3 ± 6.3 events/h) were greater (p < 0.05) and Eff was lower (69.9 ± 5.3% vs. 87.0 ± 5.3%) at 4050 m compared to 3000 m, respectively. AMS presence did not impact cognition but fatigue (2.17 ± 0.37 vs. 0.58 ± 0.39), anger (0.65 ± 0.25 vs. 0.02 ± 0.26), depression (0.63 ± 0.23 vs. 0.00 ± 0.24) and sleepiness (4.8 ± 0.4 vs. 2.7 ± 0.5) were greater (p < 0.05) in the AMS+ group. The Sleep− group, compared to the Sleep+ group, had lower (p < 0.05) working memory scores (50 ± 7 vs. 78 ± 9) assessed by the Sternberg 6‐letter memory task, and lower reaction time fatigue scores (157 ± 17 vs. 221 ± 22), assessed by the repeated reaction time test. Overall, AMS, depression, DeSHr, and Awak were increased (p < 0.05) at 4050 m compared to 3000 m. In addition, AMS presence impacted mood while poor sleep impacted cognition which may deteriorate teamwork and/or increase errors in judgement at HA. |
