Abstract(s)
Sleep is essential for a range of physiological and mental functions in professional athletes. There is
proof that athletes may experience lower quality and quantity of sleep. While adequate sleep has
been shown to have restorative effects on the immune system and endocrine system, facilitate ner vous system recovery and the metabolic cost of wakefulness, and play a significant role in learning,
memory, and synaptic plasticity, which can affect sports recovery, injury risk reduction, and per formance. Sports performance may suffer significantly from a lack of sleep, especially under max imal and long-term exercise. Due to the potential harm, these factors may do to an athlete’s
endocrine, metabolic, and nutritional health, sports performance is impacted by reduced sleep
quality or quantity. There are several neurotransmitters associated with the sleep–wake cycle
that have been discovered. They comprise cholinergic hormone, orexin, melanin, galanin, serotonin, gamma-aminobutyric acid, histamine, and serotonin. Therefore, dietary modifications
that affect the neurotransmitters in the brain also may affect sleep; particularly for athletes who
require more physical and psychological recovery owing to the tremendous physiological and psy chological demands placed on them during training and performance. This review explores the
variables that influence the quantity and quality of sleep-in populations of athletes and assesses
their possible effects. In addition, several recommendations for improving sleep are presented.
Even though there has been much research on variables that impact sleep, future studies may highlight the significance of these aspects for athletes.
