Abstract

Objective: To clarify sleep disorder risk factors among student athletes, this study examined the  relationship between lifestyle habits, competition activities, psychological distress and sleep disorders.  Methods: Student athletes (N = 906; male: 70.1%; average age: 19.1 ± 0.8 years) in five university  sports departments in four Japanese regions were targeted for analysis. Survey items were attributes  (age, gender, body mass index), sleep disorders (recorded through The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index),  lifestyle habits (bedtime, wake-up time, smoking, drinking alcohol, meals, part-time jobs, use of electronics after lights out), competition activities (activity contents, competition stressors), and psychological distress (recorded through The K6 scale). The relation between lifestyle habits, competition activities, psychological distress and sleep disorders was explored using logistic regression analysis. Results: Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis with attributes as adjustment variables showed that “bedtime,” “wake-up time,” “psychological distress,” “part-time jobs,” “smartphone/cellphone use after lights out,” “morning practices,” and “motivation loss stressors,” were risk factors that were independently related to sleep disorders. Conclusions: Sleep disorders among student athletes are related to lifestyle habits such as late bedtime, early wake-up time, late night part-time jobs, use of smartphones/cellphones after lights out, psychological distress, and competition activities such as morning practices and motivation loss stressors related to competition. Therefore, this study suggests the importance of improving these lifestyle habits, mental health and competition activities.

5. Conclusions

To prevent sleep disorders among student athletes, it is most important to secure sleep duration by going to sleep early and then waking up late. It was also suggested that it is important to improve lifestyle habits such as avoiding late night part-time jobs and refraining from using smartphones/cellphones after lights out, competitive environment such as avoiding morning practices and reducing motivation loss stressors, and mental status.
