Overview
Sleep health is an important factor in performance. Insufficient and/or poor quality sleep impairs physical performance and mental performance across multiple domains. Over the past several years, studies have increasingly shown the importance of sleep. This presentation will be geared to performance professionals interested in learning more about how sleep works, how it impacts performance, and how to implement strategies for improving sleep. It will be divided into 4 parts: First, the basics of sleep science will be reviewed as they relate to performance-related outcomes. Second, potential mechanisms and contextual factors related to athletes will be discussed. Third, data summarizing strategies for identifying and addressing sleep problems will be presented. Finally, policy and consensus recommendations from organizations such as NCAA and IOC will be reviewed and future directions will be outlined.
