Article overview
This critical review examines sleep as part of athlete health and psychological recovery. It distinguishes opportunities for sleep, difficulties sleeping, timing and daytime functioning, rather than relying only on hours slept or device ratings. The synthesis separates associations from experimental and intervention evidence, and distinguishes brief performance effects from lasting mental health outcomes. It also considers how responsibility for adequate sleep is shared by athletes, sporting organisations and clinical services.
