What the study reports

A clinical review of sleep in athletic populations: prevalence of insufficient sleep, screening for sleep disorders, and the relationship between sleep and injury, illness and mental health.

The PROMACHOS reading

Sleep screening belongs in athlete intake, not in the wellness margin. PROMACHOS reads this as support for treating chronic sleep restriction as a risk factor requiring intervention, not a badge of discipline.

This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
