The aim of the present study was to compare selective attention and cognitive flexibility in two groups with and without sleep quality problems at three times: morning, evening, and night. The study population was male students living in the dormitory of Zanjan University who were studying in this university in 2016. The Pittsburgh (1989) Sleep Quality Questionnaire was distributed by convenience sampling method. Based on the results, individuals were divided into two groups with good sleep quality (n=47) and poor sleep quality (n=44). Stroop test (1935) and Wisconsin (2011), which measure selective attention and cognitive flexibility, respectively; It was performed in six groups at 7-9, 16-18, and 24-22. The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the effect of "sleep quality" on the mean of both inconsistent and neutral mean was significant. In the effect of the "circadian cycle", all three indices of inconsistent mean and inconsistent reaction time and fineness error were significant. In "interactive effect", all indices were significant. The results showed that the cognitive executive of individuals in the two groups with high and low quality sleep at different hours of the day is different. Regardless of the differences in the indicators of each variable, sleep quality had a significant effect on selective attention but not on cognitive flexibility. Significant differences were also found in the interactive effects.
