Centre for Sleep & Human Performance

Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) – Many athletes, especially those training late or traveling across time zones, struggle to fall asleep at the right time. Their internal body clock shifts later, making early-morning training or competitions exhausting. Chronic DSPS can reduce performance, impair recovery, and increase injury risk.

Peak performance doesn’t start on the field—it starts in your sleep. Athletes with irregular sleep schedules often face delayed sleep phase syndrome, leaving them tired, irritable, and at risk of slower recovery. At Centre for Sleep, we help reset your body clock, improve sleep quality, and optimize recovery—so you can train harder, recover faster, and win every day.

One overlooked sleep issue in athletes is nocturnal hypoglycemia, low blood sugar during the night.
Intense training sessions deplete glycogen stores. If you don’t properly refuel, your blood sugar can dip while you’re asleep. Your body then releases adrenaline and cortisol to correct it… and that stress response wakes you up.

Signs to watch for:
• Waking up suddenly between 2–4AM
• Racing heart without a clear reason
• Feeling warm or slightly anxious
• Difficulty falling back asleep
• Unexplained fatigue despite “enough” sleep

Athletes burn more which means they need strategic recovery, not just clean eating. A balanced evening snack (protein + complex carbs) and proper training timing can sometimes improve sleep stability and muscle repair.

Performance doesn’t only depend on training.
It depends on recovery.

If disrupted sleep is affecting your performance, mood, or results, it might be time for a proper sleep assessment.
