The importance of a good night’s rest is not lost on American sprinter Gabby Thomas. She recently wrote a paper on the epidemiology of sleep for her master's degree at the University of Texas.
“A rule of thumb of athletes at the elite level, they’re all very good sleepers,” Crouser said. “The No. 1 thing you can do to increase your recovery is optimizing your sleep.”
Thomas would like to see the sleep and rest folded into the ever-growing conversation about mental health. Catching quality sleep is far from easy for athletes who travel the world, skipping through time zones, sometimes from week-to-week. Circadian rhythms get interrupted. Routines get altered. Budapest, for instance, is seven hours ahead of Thomas’ home in Texas. Often in track, athletes will spend part of their season competing across Europe. For major events, athletes try to come over days or weeks in advance so they can adjust.
Women’s 20-kilometer racewalk winner Maria Perez of Spain took action after tossing and turning the night before her race because of nerves.
