Abstract or project description
The present study aims to understand the relationship between the quantity and quality of sleep and caffeine consumption in to understand further conditions that optimize student-athletes’ sports and academic performance. We found an inverse relationship between the hours of sports played and sleep quality, a positive relationship between sleep quantity and sleep quality, and that as caffeine consumption increases, sleep quality decreases. The results partially supported our hypothesis and suggested that student-athletes should be cautious of the relationships between caffeine consumption and sleep to further optimize their sports and academic performance. We strongly encourage student-athletes to prioritize sleep during the sports season. Not only does sleep further improve and maximize athletic performances, but sleep also reduces the chances of getting injuries moving forward.
