The Singapore GP returns this weekend and, with it, the F1 paddock will face the challenge of trying to stay on European time while in an Asian country. Managing sleep, therefore, becomes key. Here's a look at how teams attempt to cope with that:
Since the first night race back in 2008, F1 folk have grown used to adjusting to the schedule by staying up until dawn and sleeping until the early afternoon in an attempt to stay on European time. Against the backdrop of the inevitable jet lag on arrival, it's never an easy thing to manage.
"In our sport, where the technology is such a focus, I think human performance and well-being is genuinely valued by the teams," says Bennett."But it can often slip as a priority. "I think most people appreciate that driving that car for up to two hours is an extraordinarily physical experience," says Bennett.
When it first arrived on the schedule Singapore presented some special challenges for team doctors and physios. Over the years they have learned how to keep the drivers in tip-top condition. "It starts ideally with preparation before travel. Looking at the daily schedule, you want the driver to maybe shift a couple of hours, and they can do that effectively in the few days before they travel.
"But it's not just sleep. As a broad concept, I think everybody understands how important that is. But I would say even over the last year the physiology of temperature around sleep is really becoming recognised as probably as important as things like light and dark manipulation, which were traditionally considered to be the most important variables around sleep.
"It's essentially a sensor layer, a mattress pad that you can install onto any mattress," says Eight Sleep co-founder Matteo Franceschetti. "We didn't reinvent the wheel, meaning that there is already plenty of medical evidence that temperature at night can improve your sleep performance and your body temperature changes. When you hear people saying, 'You should sleep at 68degF the whole night,' that is wrong.
"There are some ways that are more obvious," says Franceschetti."Like reaction time, mental clarity, cognitive performance and focus, which are pretty obvious.

A good night's sleep promotes immunityIn a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers in the United States used mice models to understand how sleep fragmentation affects immunological responses and the epigenetic modifications of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). They also conducted a sleep restriction trial in humans to determine HPSC programming and hematopoiesis.
