The impact of long haul travel on the sleep of elite athletes
How Long-Distance Travel Affects Sleep in Elite Athletes
AI simplified
Abstract
Elite athletes experienced significant reductions in sleep metrics following long haul eastward travel (n = 7).
- Significant reductions in time in bed, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency were observed in the 48 hours post-travel.
- Self-reported sleep data indicated reduced sleep quality and increased fatigue associated with long haul travel.
- Coupling objective sleep assessments with evaluations of chronotype and sleep need may help in developing interventions for jet lag.
