Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the sleep and wake behaviors of 124 elite athletes, including both individual and team sport athletes, using sleep diaries and wrist activity monitors over at least seven nights.
  • On average, these athletes went to bed around 10:59 PM, woke up at 7:15 AM, and got about 6.8 hours of sleep per night, which is less than the recommended 8 hours.
  • Athletes in individual sports tended to sleep less—going to bed and waking up earlier and averaging about 6.5 hours of sleep—compared to team sports athletes who averaged around 7 hours.
