This analysis reveals how morning appointment times impact sleep quality in elite rugby players, highlighting the effect of training loads.

Sleep duration was shorter during training camp days with earlier morning appointments, affecting overall rest.
High-speed running distance positively correlated with sleep duration, increasing it by about 4.9 minutes for every 100 meters.
The study used actigraphy and electroencephalographic devices to monitor sleep patterns and architecture in 26 elite players.
Coaches should consider the timing of morning appointments, as they significantly influence sleep quality and athlete performance.
