Sports fans keen to watch the Olympic Games in live action will have to deal with the difference in time zone with France. Experts from Australian Catholic University share tips to minimise the effects of sleep deprivation.
Sleep deprivation occurs when you do not get the amount and quality of sleep that you need. BRISBANE: Although the Olympics are an exciting time for sport enthusiasts worldwide, you may be faced with the gruelling test of lining up your viewing schedule with the Paris time zone as the Games officially start on Friday .
Essentially, you might feel less alert, less productive and a little bit flat after some late night viewing. Finally, you should consider what you are going to eat and drink while viewing. Although alcohol may be a popular choice, it can reduce your sleep quality and may worsen sleep deprivation. Similarly, if you nap for too long, it can also make it more challenging to sleep at night – the ideal nap duration is 20 to 90 minutes. Napping longer than this can be helpful if you are sleep deprived but it can increase the chance that you will experience sleep inertia .
Losing sleep to enjoy the Olympics may mean you will be dealing with added daytime fatigue, and it is important to understand it can increase your risk of having an accident or injury during this time.
