The Impact of Dietary Factors on the Sleep of Athletically Trained Populations: A Systematic Review

Introduction: Many athletically trained populations report poor sleep, especially during intensive training and competition periods. Recently, diet has been shown to significantly affect sleep in general populations, however, little is known about the impact diet has on the sleep of athletically trained populations.
