The aim of the present study is to understand the relationship between the quantity and quality of sleep, and caffeine consumption in student-athletes to further understand conditions that optimize student-athletes’ sport and academic performance. We found an inverse relationship between the hours of sports played and sleep quantity, a positive relationship between sleep quantity and sleep quality, and that as caffeine consumption increases, the quality of sleep 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 performances in sport and academics. We strongly encourage student-athletes to prioritize sleep during the sport season. Not only does sleep further improve and maximize athletic performances, sleep also reduces chances of getting injuries moving forward.
