THE NCAA SPORT Science institute’s Sleep Task Force, convened for the first time last week in Indianapolis, Ind., to work on ensuring athletes are paying attention to a facet of their lives they may overlook for the sake of busy schedules: sleep. Representatives from the three NCAA divisions make up the group along with coaches and athletes, experts in sleep research, sports medicine, sports psychology, academic advising and mental health and other fields. The task force plans to work together to develop consensus documents its members can take to the associations they represent for endorsement. It also hopes to create sleep-specific recommendations that can be published and distributed to athletic departments, providing direction for athletic trainers, coaches and other participants who work directly with athletes.
