Professional athletes are more organized and committed to a healthy lifestyle, which in turn contributes to the observance of work and rest, including sleep hygiene. Objective of the study was to analyze the literature devoted to the study of the role of sleep for athletes, scientific information about the representation, nature and consequences of its violations, to summarize and structure data related to the strategy for optimizing sleep in this population group. The analysis of literature data was carried out using the following methods: descriptive (descriptive), systematization, visualization (representation in the form of diagrams, tables). The results of a number of studies show that sleep is extremely important for restoring the brain's energy expenditure, as well as for the normal functioning of memory and attention, which contributes to achieving high sports results. In this regard, sleep disorders in athletes are fraught with a number of negative consequences, including deterioration of health and an increase in the frequency of injuries, which indicates the need to take a set of measures aimed at improving the quality of sleep. The article presents data demonstrating the prerequisites, main manifestations, methods of drug and non-drug correction of sleep disorders in professional athletes.
