Article Synopsis
- - Participants in the study were 1154 ultramarathon runners, and the research focused on their sleep patterns and management strategies during challenging races, highlighting issues like sleep deprivation that are common in long-distance events.
- - About 58% of runners used sleep management techniques, with most starting the race already in sleep debt; many also took naps during the race, although the amount of sleep varied depending on race length.
- - Symptoms of sleep deprivation were prevalent, affecting 80% of runners, leading to issues like falls and hallucinations, yet most recovered their wakefulness within two days post-race, indicating the need for better sleep strategies for both performance and safety.
