Abstract
This chapter addresses the idea of a sleep and circadian health program within an athletics program. It describes different types of programs, including single-day workshops, multiday workshops, short-term ongoing programs, and long-term ongoing programs. Recommendations for sleep hygiene tips are presented and described. Strategies for conducting a needs assessment survey are described. Issues around identification and management of sleep disorders are reviewed. The importance of developing an education program that also addresses a culture of healthy sleep is discussed. Leveraging sleep and circadian rhythms for optimizing performance is also considered for those without sleep problems. Finally, some concepts for implementing a travel and jet lag management program are reviewed.
