Introduction[edit | edit source]
It is essential to get an adequate amount of sleep every night for human health. This would equate to 6-8 hours of sleep. Accumulating this much daily sleep has restorative effects on the immune system, function of the endocrine system, and cognitive performance.
Sleep is also very important for athletes, as it plays an important role in physical, physiological, and cognitive performance. However, athletes are seen to obtain less rest due early rising times, and anxiety during heavy training periods and before competition.
Also, with the use of electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, tablets, and smartphones, can result in poor sleep quality, disturbed sleep, and a lower sleep duration.
