"Putting Evidence Back Into
Running Injury and Performance"
Sleep Awareness Month: STA Podcast
As runners, most of us are aware that our running performance will be affected by a poor night’s sleep, and as a result we do what we can to get some decent shut-eye. But it’s not easy in our industrialised world, with work and kids frequently not allowing us more than 6 hours sleep a night.
Modern sleep reasearch is now far more equipped at measuring the affect of poor sleep quantity & quality, and the results are pretty shocking. Yes, running performance will suffer, but more significant is the effect on day to day functioning and emotional & physical well being.
The long-term effects of sleep loss and sleep disorders are now being associated with increased risk of systemic disorders including :
- hypertension
- diabetes
- obesity
- depression
- heart attack
- stroke
- Alzheimer’s

Sleep Quality: Terminology
In examining the relationship between sleep quality/quantity and performance, it is useful to take a look at the terminology commonly used, and appreciate how many of the words & acronyms we commonly see are often misused. In this article we consider REM Sleep, Non-REM Sleep (including deep sleep), the effectiveness of wearables in tracking sleep, chronotypes, circadian rhythms, and whether you are a Lion, Bear, Wolf or Dolphin.
5 Week Cerebra Sleep Study
