The information was used to assist in establishing sleep onset and offset times from the actigraphy (Akerstedt et al., 1994). The Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) is an 8-item self-report questionnaire. Items include "How often do you fall asleep or feel drowsy in class?" and "Are you usually alert during the day?". Total scores range from 0 to 32, with higher scores indicating greater daytime sleepiness.

Sleep-related measures were derived from each device. These included SD, SL, time of SO, wake after SO, SE and time at wake (WT).Diary. Athletes were provided with a sleep/training diary, which they carried with them throughout the study period. The diary contained questions relating to their sleep, electronic device use, caffeine use, and training effort. The ISI consists of 5 separate questions that ask the participant to self-rate their own experience with insomnia, each with a scale of 0-4. The questions relate to severity, satisfaction, notice ability and worry or distress associated with their insomnia. Scores were aggregated and assessed against a criterion. A score greater than 15 indicates clinical insomnia. The ESS is a self- reported scale that asks how likely an individual is to doze off or fall asleep in common daytime situations. Scores in excess of 9 indicate excessive daytime sleepiness. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk was assessed using the Berlin Questionnaire, which assigns risk of OSA based on the presence and frequency of snoring behavior, wake time sleepiness or fatigue, and a history of obesity and/or hypertension.

2017 Rodrigues et al.	Track and Field (n=19; 15M, 4F) Age: 28 ± 6 y Paralympic	To monitor and describe mood states, depression, sleep quality, sleepiness and anxiety of the Brazilian Paralympic athletics team over a seven-month period.	28	2) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and 3) the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The PSQI consists of 11 questions grouped into seven areas of sleep-related complaints, i.e., subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, duration of sleep, usual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of medication to sleep and day dysfunction. The scores of the seven components are added up to a global score, ranging between 0 and 21. Scores from 0 to 4 indicate good sleep quality, whereas scores from5 to 10 indicate poor sleep quality. Scores above 10 points indicate that the person might have a sleep disorder.

To perform the PSG recording, several electrodes were placed on the chin, scalp and the outer edge of the eyelids of the participant (i.e. 8 electroencephalogram (EEG): for brain electrical activity; 4 electrooculogram (EOG): for horizontal and vertical movements; 4 electromyogram (EMG): for chin muscular activity). EEG, EMG and EOG were continuously recorded. PSG recording was analyzed using the Polysmith' software allowing determining TST, Sleep cycles and stages composition (N1-, N2-, N3-sleep and rapid eye-movement- sleep [REM-sleep]), SE (which is the ratio of the TST on the total time spent in bed (TIB)), SOL and nocturnal awakening after sleep onset (NA). The Hooper (sleep quality/disorders) has been suggested as one of the most cost-effective strategies for prevention and early detection of nonfunctional overreaching.

2018 Stevens et al.	Triathlon (n=12; M) Age: 48 ± 14 y National and Regional	The effects of long-haul northeast travel for competition on sleep, illness and preparedness in endurance athletes.	03	23) Actigraphy (wActiSleepC, Actigraph, FL, United States), 11) Sleep diary and 19) A Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 5 (sleep quality). According to previously described methods, data from the sleep diaries and activity monitors were used to determine when participants were awake and asleep (Sargent et al., 2016). All time was scored as wake unless: (i) the sleep diary indicated that the participant was lying down attempting to sleep and (ii) the activity counts the monitor were sufficiently low to indicate that the participant was immobile. The scoring process was conducted using the corresponding software (Actilife, version 6.13.3, Actigraph, FL, United States) and Cole-Kripke algorithm, which has been validated for use in adults (Cole et al., 1992). Participants also self-reported nap duration (min; there was no minimum) and sleep quality (where 1 = very poor, 2 = poor, 3 = fair, 4 = good and 5 = very good).
2018 Suppiah et al.	Shooting (n=12, M) Age: 14 ± 1 y Track and field (n=19, M) Age: 15 ± 1 y Youth Elite	To investigate the sport-specific performance effect of a brief afternoon nap on high-level Asian adolescent student-athletes that were habitually short sleepers.	n/a	24) Actigraph (GT3X activity monitors, FL, USA) and 3) Wireless dry electroencephalographic (EEG) sensor (Zeo, MA, USA). On the night prior to each experimental session, participants wore the GT3X activity monitors, the data were scored and analyzed using ActiLife 6.9.2 and using the Sadeh algorithm which has been validated in an adolescent population and shown to have an overall high accuracy to that of polysomnography. The actigraph collected the following sleep variables: (1) bedtime, (2) wake time, (3) time in bed, (4) wake time after sleep onset (WASO), (5) total sleep time (TST), (6) sleep efficiency. The EEG was configured to obtain real-time objective sleep measures. This system has been validated against an in-laboratory PSG. For the nap, participants were ushered into a darkened room and allowed to nap with the assistance of earplugs and eye- masks, to reduce environmental light and noise. A researcher was in an adjacent room during the nap monitoring the participant's sleep patterns. Sleep inertia presents following naps with deep sleep. For this reason, the participants were awakened after 1 minute elapsed from the occurrence of deep sleep to minimize these effects. Additionally, a 30-minute time limit was set as the nap termination criteria if the participant was not able to sleep, or no deep sleep was obtained to prevent the participant from obtaining greater durations of deep sleep.

Participants were asked to record their bedtime and pre-sleep fatigue prior to a night-time sleep period and their get-up time, and sleep quality as soon as practicable after waking. The participants were instructed not to remove their activity monitor except when showering, swimming, or submersion. Data derived from the sleep diaries and wrist activity monitors were used to determine participants' amount and quality of sleep. All time was the sleep diary indicated that the participant was lying down attempting to sleep and (2) The activity counts derived from the activity monitor were sufficiently low to indicate that the participant was immobile. Once these conditions were met simultaneously, time was scored as sleep. This scoring process was conducted using Phillips Respironics'Actiwatch algorithm with sensitivity at 'medium'. The following sleep variables were derived from the activity monitor and sleep diary. Subjective sleep quality the participants' self-rating of sleep quality on a five-point Likert scale. Validity and sensitivity information were reported.

Actigraphic sleep quality was recorded using an actiwatch activity monitoring system which measures activity by means of a piezo-electric accelerometer. The movement of the non-dominant wrist of each participant was monitored. Data recorded by the actigraph were analyzed with Actiwatch Sleep Analysis Software. Each subject received a sleep diary to record bedtime, wake-up time, hours napping, hours without wearing the actigraph and the number of nocturnal awakenings. Data analysis started with the onset of nocturnal rest (bedtime) and ended with the onset of daytime activity (wake time).
