Brief summary

Sleep is a crucial factor for athletes' health and recovery. Many variables are able to negatively influence the sleep of top-level athletes, such as: anxiety, long travels, high volume or high-intensity training period, and a nigth competition too. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study is to evalute how sleep quality changes in relation to a late nigth competition in athletes.

Interventions
