One of my favourite things is sleep brand founders, from supplements to eye masks to digital therapies, all "cured" "fixed" or "solved" their chronic insomnia with the product and never had a poor might's sleep again... This sort of codswallop is not fair on poor sleepers...

On the contrary:
#Naps can ⬆️ #alertness & other benefits.
Acute vs later effects depend e.g. on duration:
Naps <15-20 min ⬇️ risk of subsequent [#sleep] inertia.
As opposed to the idea below that NSDR would equal 1-2 h of sleep, there is a lot of science behind #napping 🧵

"Power naps" slow you down and, if done incorrectly, can completely disrupt your circadian rhythm.
Instead, try Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR).

Female athletes are a hot topic right now 🧐
But what about female coaches, officials, performance staff, operations & business staff?
Together with @DrAntheaClarke, @AlexHRoberts & Dr Clare MacMahon, we propose a new framework ➡️

Take those Sleep Scores with a pinch of salt! 😴
In this study, when people were assigned with a poor sleep quality rating their cognitive performance was worse...
Even if their self-reported sleep quality was good!

If you’re new to tracking personal or athlete data (subjectives, HRV, sleep, etc), rest assured that optimal status metrics are not required for a high level of physical performance. This should be fairly unsurprising given that none of these are measures of physical performance.

Please listen to this message if you are believing the data your wearable is giving you on sleep stages. I've recently been working with an international footballer and if we believed the data on deep sleep and rem sleep they were basically dead. They were sleeping fine

Unfortunately wearables can’t stage sleep accurately. At this point the only way to estimate sleep staging is polysomnography scored by a sleep scientist. Wearables are ok for estimating sleep duration as long as bedtime & wake time are accurate (often they have to be corrected).

Can getting negative feedback from a wearable make you *less* confident about your health or performance?
Interesting article here on wearables and 'nocebo' effects 👇

I got an Oura ring in September and made some dramatic lifestyle changes in response to terrifyingly low deep sleep readings (how am I even alive let alone functioning??).
Oura recently introduced a new algorithm and my deep sleep is…totally fine? 🤣

I realize a sexier headline would have been “Drink this magical tea for a great night of sleep”. Alas, I speak the truth. No such tea or any other supplement claiming to put you to sleep exists.

This post from @Sleep4Sport over on instagram explains why the 90 minute sleep cycle theory is not based on science. I would also add it presume we can force ourselves to go to sleep at a certain time. We can't. #highperformancepodcast instagram.com/p/BnwYOwXFRqI/…

One in 50 adults and 1 in 140 children in the US are using #melatonin to fall asleep. Melatonin is not as safe as people assume. It can raise blood sugar and blood pressure in many adults. safety of long term use of high dose melatonin is unknown.

Final takeaways from #WISC22
Across the 5 themes, three consistent messages came through
1) ⬆️ awareness of issues for women
2) more research is needed to inform practice, and
3) be considerate of language used - what, when, how something is referred to
Bring on WISC 2024!
