Abstract des Autors
Many athletes experience sleep disturbances at some time during their careers. Most often these disruptions are due to the stresses of competition or constant travel. This article discusses the protective nature of sleep and its two phases: rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM. Since sleep loss affects both fine and gross motor activity, the author suggests practical strategies to help athletes get the sleep they need to train and compete and argues that drug therapy is not a solution.
