Sleep Behaviour and Subjective Sleep Quality in Esports Athletes: A Multilevel Analysis of Night-to-Night Variability

Key Points

• To examine how nightly variability in sleep duration and stable behaviours influence subjective sleep quality in esports athletes.
• Conducted a multilevel analysis to assess sleep patterns over multiple nights.
• Evaluated the relationship between sleep duration variability and subjective sleep quality.
• Analyzed the impact of behavioural routines and training schedules on sleep.
• Collected data from esports athletes to capture dynamic sleep processes.
• Increased variability in sleep duration negatively affects sleep quality.
• Consistent behavioural routines contribute positively to perceived sleep quality.
• Training schedules influence sleep patterns and athletes' subjective sleep experiences.
