Sleep disturbances, mental health symptoms, and chronotype in Chinese elite athletes: insights from the Beijing 2022 winter olympics preparatory period
Disruptions were reported in the sleep and mental health of elite athletes during the preparation phase of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Evening chronotype may be a potential independent predictor of sleep and mental health changes for Chinese winter sport elite athletes in preparatory period, and further research is needed to generalize the results. These findings suggest that strategies to manage sleep and mental health better are critical.
