""We are always working with athletes to find what works best for them," Bartley tells Bustle. "This year, they get to select a mattress topper based on how firm they want their bed to be. We also gave them a sleep kit that includes an eye mask and earplugs.""
""For me, a good pillow is the make-or-break for my sleep pattern. I use a Saatva pillow," says bobsledder Kaysha Love."
Olympic athletes balance intense early-morning training with disciplined rest strategies to support recovery and performance. Teams provide tailored sleep gear such as mattress toppers, eye masks, and earplugs while athletes choose pillows and firmness levels to match individual comfort needs. Consistent sleep hygiene and regular bedtimes form the foundation of nightly routines. Strategic napping, melatonin use, and jet-lag management help maintain energy and reduce fatigue across demanding schedules. Combining equipment, routines, and recovery tactics helps stabilize sleep, reduce nerves, and sustain repeated high-intensity training and competition demands.
