N2 - Sleep and language are fundamental to human existence and have both been shown to substantially affect cognitive functioning including memory, attentional performance, and cognitive control. Surprisingly, there is little-to-no research that examines the shared impact of bilingualism and sleep on cognitive functions. In this paper, we provide a general overview of existing research on the interplay between bilingualism and sleep with a specific focus on executive functioning. First, we highlight their interconnections and the resulting implications for cognitive performance. Second, we emphasize the need to explore how bilingualism and sleep intersect at cognitive and neural levels, offering insights into potential ways of studying the interplay between sleep, language learning, and bilingual language use. Finally, we suggest that understanding these relationships could enhance our knowledge of reserve and its role in mitigating age-related cognitive decline.
