An interventional study of Sleep HygieneTraining in Sleep Hygiene and Habit, Good Sleep, sponsored by Abant Izzet Baysal University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to male participants aged 15 Years to 20 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-02-18.
Sponsored by Abant Izzet Baysal University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Sleep is essential to human health and well-being. Lack of or poor sleep can negatively impact cognitive function, mood, and physical performance. Athletes, especially elite athletes, are at risk for sleep problems due to heavy training schedules and the stress of travel.
Lack of or poor sleep can negatively impact athletes in many ways, including lack of sleep can lead to mood disorders such as irritability, anxiety, and depression. This may have a negative impact on athlete motivation and participation in training. Sleep deprivation can lead to decreased muscle strength, endurance, and coordination. This can affect an athlete's performance in training and competition phase.
Sleep hygiene refers to a set of practices aimed at regulating the sleep environment and habits to improve sleep quality. Sleep hygiene education is an intervention designed to teach athletes about the importance of sleep hygiene to improve their sleep quality. As sleep quality improves, attention, concentration, memory, and decision-making skills also improve . This can help athletes to perform better during training and competition. As sleep quality improves, mood disorders such as irritability, anxiety, and depression decrease. This can increase athlete motivation and participation in training. As sleep quality improves, so does muscle strength, endurance, and coordination.
This study will be one of the first study conduct on human to examine the effectiveness of sleep hygiene education among gymnasts. Gymnasts, like other athletes, are prone to sleep problems for the reasons mentioned above. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the impact of sleep hygiene education on the sleep quality of gymnasts and indirectly on sports performance and sleep health as well as its underlying mechanisms. Additionally, this study has the potential to make a significant contribution to the field of exercise science by examining the effectiveness of sleep hygiene education, specifically among gymnasts. By examining effects on sleep quality, athletic performance, and sleep health, this study could provide valuable insights into developing targeted interventions to optimize sleep and health in gymnasts.
The duration of the measurements will be in week 1 to see the acute effects of sleep, and as a minimum of 18-21 days is required for behavioural change, sleep measurements will be made in week 4.

Exclusion Criteria:
Sleep Intervention: A 60-minute sleep hygiene education session will be delivered to the participants by an expert with experience in providing education in the areas of sports and sleep. Subsequently, interventions will be implemented to improve the sleep environments of the athletes who are staying at the facility
Behavioral: Sleep HygieneTraining
No training will be provided If offered by the control group participants, "sleep hygiene training" will be given after all the data collected from the Sleep Training Group
Training Content * Importance of Sleep: The vital importance of sleep for physical and mental health. * Benefits of Adequate and Quality Sleep: The numerous benefits of sufficient and good quality sleep. * Sleep Stages: The different stages of sleep and their characteristics. * Sleep Hygiene: The concept of sleep hygiene and its importance for improving sleep quality. * What to Do? * What to Avoid for Better Sleep?
Actigraphy
Actigraphy is a less invasive method compared to other sleep measurement methods such as polysomnography
Time frame: Pre-test, following one week mid-test and following one month post-test
Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ)
Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire is a 17-item, Likert-type (1- Never, 5- Always) scale with 4 sub-factors (sports-related, sleep quality, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance)
Time frame: Pre-test and 1 month after the pre-test
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index assesses various sleep-related factors, including sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and daytime sleepiness. It is a 19-item self-report questionnaire. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, and the total score ranges from 0 to 57. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
Time frame: Pre-test and 1 month after the pre-test
Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire
Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire provides a valid and reliable subjective measure of daytime sleepiness in adolescents. This Questionnaire consists of 16 items that measure daytime sleepiness. Scores range from 16 to 80 on a 5-point Likert scale (never: 1; rarely: 2; sometimes: 3; usually: 4; almost every day: 5). Five of the statements are scored in the reverse direction. Daytime sleepiness is obtained by summing the scores of the 16 items, and the higher the score, the higher the daytime sleepiness.
Time frame: Pre-test and 1 month after the pre-test
Ran from Jun 2024 to primary completion in Jul 2024, 1 month.
Of 30 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Sleep Hygiene, half reached primary completion within 9 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 29. This study's 1 month is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 31 studies reached it within 8 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 29.
