Daytime napping results in an underestimation of thermal strain during exercise in the heat
Statistics from Altmetric.com
We were very interested to read the recent article by Tokizawa et al1 that investigated the effect of partial sleep restriction (PSR) and a daytime nap on thermal strain during exercise heat stress. Tokizawa et al confirm our previous findings2 that disrupted sleep does not affect thermal strain during exercise-heat-stress in the morning but extend our findings by showing that PSR increases heat strain during moderate exercise-heat-stress in the afternoon …
