Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work My research goal would be to see how athletes are affected by sleep. Some of my goals would be to graduate college as a civil engineer with a focus in construction. I was born and raised here in Panama City Beach Florida. Poster Title Abstract Sleep is a crucial factor in athletic performance, yet many high school athletes do not get enough rest due to busy schedules, academic demands, and social obligations. This paper explores how sleep affects various aspects of athletic performance, including memory, focus, mood, motivation, injury risk, and recovery. Research has shown that sleep is essential for learning new motor skills, improving reaction time, and maintaining concentration during competition. Athletes who do not get enough sleep struggle with decision-making, slower reflexes, and decreased endurance, which can negatively impact their overall performance. Beyond cognitive effects, sleep deprivation increases the risk of injuries. Fatigue leads to poor coordination and slower muscle recovery, making athletes more susceptible to both acute and overuse injuries. Studies show that sleep also plays a key role in muscle repair and energy replenishment, making it an essential part of the recovery process. Furthermore, poor sleep quality has been linked to increased stress and anxiety, which can lower motivation and hinder performance. Despite the clear benefits of sleep, many high school athletes fail to meet the recommended 8–10 hours per night. This paper highlights the importance of prioritizing sleep for peak performance and injury prevention. By educating athletes, coaches, and parents on the effects of sleep, high school athletes can develop better habits that enhance both their performance and overall well-being. Encouraging consistent sleep routines, limiting screen time before bed, and managing schedules effectively can help young athletes maximize their potential on and off the field.
