Formula 1 - How deep sleep keeps Mercedes F1 on top: Autosport

Published on 21 Sep 2018

The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most iconic races in the F1 calendar - but the night schedule makes it especially challenging for the teams. Many of them opt to remain on a European time zone; which means eating, working and sleeping at odd hours of the day and night. The Mercedes team also has a secret weapon: Bose noise-masking sleepbuds. These comfortable sleepbuds play soothing sounds to mask irritating noises. Dr Luke Bennett, Hintsa Medical & Sports Performance Director says: “Good sleep helps all of your metabolic, cognitive and physical processes. The negative impact of a poor sleep, even for one night, should never be underestimated.”
