Reducing scheduled evening training does not improve recruits' sleep duration or quality during British Army basic training

It is also recommended that the contracted early-morning feeding times and magnitude of non-scheduled training activity be considered as factors for change within future programme design to optimize sleep opportunity during basic training.
