The primary objective is to assess the impact of two nutritional interventions vs. placebo on objective and subjective sleep measures in athletes. Participants receive one beverage on each of three consecutive nights in a randomized manner. It is hypothesized the two nutritional interventions will result in significant improvements in sleep onset latency, and will not result in a negative impact on next-day cycling performance. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of the nutritional interventions vs. placebo on next-morning performance (physical, cognitive function, and balance).
