For athletes, sleep is essential to ensure peak physical performance. However, sleep is also vital for mental health as winning medals typically requires a balanced fusion of brawn and brains. Let’s use a BMX racer for instance. Besides the power required to pedal through inclines and maintain speed, these racers also need to keep sharp attention on reaction times and they need to be able to react quickly to conditions as well as other riders, all of which require mental fitness.

Those who do not consistently get seven to nine hours of sleep a night are ten times likelier to be diagnosed with clinical depression, and seventeen times more likely to experience clinical anxiety, per the National Sleep Foundation. Only small rates of sleep disturbance can cause mood changes which can occur when an athlete faces sessions or competitions early in the morning or during the late hours of the evening.
