The lab studies the science of athletes' sleep and mind.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring exercise, the brain, and the mind through sleep.
The Nishida Lab studies how exercise, the brain, and the mind work, from the perspective of sleep and biological rhythms.
It examines how the way athletes sleep relates to their performance in competition and their physical condition.
Athletes' mental health and well-being are also one of the lab's research themes.
The effects of sleep environments, such as naps and bedding, are tested by simultaneously measuring EEG, core body temperature, and heart rate variability.
Key terms
- Biological rhythm
- The body's innate cycle in which body temperature and hormones change regularly over the course of a day
- Well-being
- A state in which the mind and body are fulfilled and one is doing well
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- A recording, made from the surface of the head, of the electrical changes that accompany the activity of nerves in the brain

ResearchResearch themes
Using sleep and biological rhythms as clues, the lab investigates the links between exercise, the brain, and the mind. Its work ranges from conditioning athletes to setting up better sleep environments.
