Impact of a 25-minute nap on cognitive variables and reactive management of disruptive behaviour in trainee secondary school physical education teachers.

ABSTRACT: Sleep deprivation in trainee teachers (TTs) increases the risk of cognitive disorders specific to teaching. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a 25-minute nap on certain cognitive faculties in these teachers, with a view to creating a learning climate more conducive to the transfer of knowledge. Sixty male TT (21.77 ± 0.63 years ; height : 1.79 ± 0.03 m) were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (_ExpGr ; n = 30) and a control group (_ContGr ; n = 30). A 25-minute nap protocol was administered to the _ExpGr. An experimental design (3 months) with repeated measures (3 samplings: T1, T2, T3) was adopted to measure sustained attention (d2 test), complex reaction times (CRT: BlazePod test) and the choice of reactive management i
