In this engaging and innovative exploration of sleep science, Pat Byrne and Suzanne Byrne offer a comprehensive yet easy-to-read road map to success for athletes and teams—but their knowledge and new ideas are applicable to anyone that sleeps, too. With over ten years of experience implementing sleep and fatigue solutions into professional sports programs, this father-daughter duo discusses the latest sleep research and how it affects performance. Why do our brains trick us into believing we have slept enough even if we haven’t? Why is it so difficult to overcome jet lag? The answers are scientific and revealed in this book to be released August 18, 2020.
