Sleep as a Major Determinant for Mental Health Outcomes in Elite Australian Football League (AFL) Athletes
Conclusions
Our results present poor sleep as a major determinant of impaired mental health outcomes in a population that is constantly under pressure to perform at the highest level and may underreport mental health symptoms. These findings support the inclusion of sleep assessments as an initial screening tool as well as a core component of all routine health and rehabilitation programs.
