Athlete Sleep & Human Performance

Sleep science for people who compete.

Dr. Christine Mason, PhD, DBSM brings behavioral sleep medicine and circadian science to athletes, teams, and high-performance environments.

Why behavioral sleep medicine matters in sport

Athlete sleep is shaped by training load, competition schedules, travel across time zones, pressure, and the data athletes see on their wearables. Dr. Mason is board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine, which means she assesses and treats sleep and circadian problems, not only general sleep hygiene.

Her work in performance sleep includes clinical strategy for Absolute Rest, a technology-enabled sleep program serving professional athletes and executives, described on the Digital Health page.

Sleep timing, recovery, competition and travel schedules, wearable interpretation, and identifying sleep disorders that affect training and performance.

Women's teams and athletics

The same performance foundations, informed by expertise in women's sleep, circadian science, recovery, and relevant hormonal considerations. Individual differences matter more than assumptions about sex-based differences.
