How to Enhance Performance With Better Sleep

In this episode, I explain how sleep optimization produces a
competitive advantage and the many tools available for improving
sleep to maximize athletic performance. I explain how sufficient,
high-quality sleep enhances speed, accuracy, reaction time, and
competition performance and aids in injury recovery. I also
describe why most athletes suffer from chronic suboptimal sleep,
the athlete’s sleep paradox, the biochemical reason athletes need
more sleep, and the most common sleep disorders affecting athletes.
I explain the importance of optimizing three areas for sleep:
duration, quality, and timing. I also discuss how to use sleep
extension to improve performance and how to use sleep banking
and/or adjust sleep timing during competition training or travel. I
discuss the three I’s (investigate, interpret, intervene) for
improving sleep and describe sleep solutions, ranging from free
protocols and low-cost wearables to high-precision clinical sleep
testing. Listeners will understand the importance of sleep for
performance and how to create a precise, effective sleep program
tailored to individual needs and goals for yourself or the athletes
you coach.   Access the full show notes for this episode
