Snoring and insomnia – neurocognitive consequences in professional athletes

Introduction: Professional athletes often describe sleep maintenance insomnia. Resulting sleep deprivation can impact daytime performance, perception of effort, and cognitive function. Neurocognitive domains including psychomotor speed, vigilant attention, and task-orientated, cognitive function are vulnerable to insomnia. We hypothesized that sleep-related disordered breathing (snoring) decreases neurocognitive performance in athletes.
