Abstract

Many children and adolescents experience significant sleep impairments. This is concerning as better sleep has been shown to benefit numerous aspects of youths’ lives, including academics and mental health. These challenges may be particularly noteworthy for the young athlete, as better sleep may also lead to improved athletic performance and more adaptive affective experiences important to training and team engagement. Moreover, sleep may serve as a promising mechanism to prevent sport-related injuries. As such, sleep may serve as a valuable tool for the young athlete, much as innovations in physical training, analytics, and medical interventions. The present chapter reviews the literature on sleep as it directly pertains to athletics and reviews the literature on other topics pertinent to the understanding of youth sleep. Methods to assess and improve sleep are discussed.
