Sport and Sleep: Applied Sleep Research for Sports Science (Original PDF from Publisher)

A theoretical section at the beginning introduces the fundamentals of sports science and sleep research, while the much larger section is dedicated to its application in a sporting environment. Among other things, the book presents athletes’ sleep behavior, including how jet lag in sport and sleep deprivation can become noticeable before sporting performances and competitions. On the surface, sport and sleep seem to be two topics that could hardly be more different: physical and mental peak performance on the one hand, and inactivity and unconsciousness on the other.

It also covers training in lucid dreams and the experience of motorized actions in dreams. The book is intended for trainers and sports fans who want to learn more about the topic in-depth, as well as individuals with an interest in sports science, sleep medicine, psychology, and neurology.
