Although sports officials are essential in the adjudication of rules during competitions, research into officiating populations is preliminary. This review explores existing research on the effects of sleep loss on decision-making in athlete populations, to gain relevant insight into sports officials and the growing decision-making demands of their role. Specifically, cognitive factors that influence decision-making are identified, and the potential relationship between sleep/wake behaviours and decision-making in sports officials were examined. Particular focus was granted to sleep, specifically sleep restriction in athlete populations, and the hypothesized relationship between sleep/wake behaviours and decision-making in sports officials. Impaired sleep duration and quality has been shown to impair cognitive performance. In the context of sport, impairments to sleep can negatively impact motivation, physical strength, reaction time, and decision-making, all of which are imperative to the role of the sports official. Despite numerous studies demonstrating that sleep loss reduces cognitive performance in athletes, this review revealed that similar research in sports officials has surprisingly yet to be conducted. Since sports officials require a high level of cognitive and physical skills to make correct decisions, an inquiry into the influence of sleep on cognitive performance may encourage research that facilitates improved performance training methods for decision-making in officials. Such findings are important to maintain the standard of officiating and allow for the development of guidelines and strategies to manage sleep and optimize decision-making across various sporting codes.

叫醒服务：回顾睡眠对运动员决策的影响及其对体育官员的影响

尽管体育官员对于比赛中规则的裁定至关重要，但有关主观裁判的研究仍处于初步阶段。这篇综述探索了睡眠丧失对运动员群体决策的影响的现有研究，以获取有关体育官员及其角色日益增长的决策要求的相关见解。具体来说，确定影响决策的认知因素，并检查体育官员睡眠/唤醒行为与决策之间的潜在关系。特别重视睡眠，特别是运动员人群的睡眠限制，以及体育官员睡眠/苏醒行为与决策之间的假设关系。睡眠时间和质量受损已被证明会损害认知能力。在体育方面，睡眠障碍可能会对动力，体力，反应时间和决策产生负面影响，而这一切对于体育官员的角色都是必不可少的。尽管有大量研究表明，睡眠不足会降低运动员的认知能力，但该评论表明，体育官员的类似研究令人惊讶地尚未进行。由于体育官员需要高水平的认知和身体技能才能做出正确的决定，因此对睡眠对认知表现的影响进行的调查可能会鼓励开展有助于改善官员决策的绩效训练方法的研究。这些发现对于维持主观裁判的标准非常重要，并有助于制定指导方针和策略来管理睡眠并优化各种体育法规中的决策。
