“…Furthermore, it has been reported that premenstrual and menstrual periods are associated with insomnia and poor sleep quality, and although assessing sleep disorders is important for all athletes, female athletes need to be screened for sleep disorders. 10 Finding an easy screening tool for sleep in athletes is imperative as it is often impractical to perform actigraphy or overnight sleep studies due to cost, compliance, time demands, and adequate staff to interpret. There are many questionnaires regarding sleep, such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, which have been translated into different languages and used to evaluate sleep length, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep latency, sleep disruption, daytime dysfunction, sleep medication use, and subjective sleep quality over the preceding month.…”

The Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) is an 18-item self-reported questionnaire that can be used to screen for sleep disorders in athletes and assess environmental, behavioral, and sports-related factors along with sleep disorders. This study aimed to analyze the reliability and validity of the ASBQ translated into Japanese (ASBQ-J). Patients and Methods: 111 female collegiate athletes completed both the initial test and retest. Independent variables were what kind of sports they perform, level as an athlete, grade (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), and age. The reliability of the survey was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the correlation between the total ASBQ scores and three components which were routine/environmental, behavioral, and sports factors. Results: A total of 37.8% of athletes had ASBQ scores equal or less than 36 indicating good sleep. However, 19.8% of athletes scored more than 42, indicating poor sleep. Cronbach alpha was 0.62 and 0.65 for test and retest, respectively. Intraclass correlation was 0.78 (P < 0.01), indicating sufficient internal consistency and test-retest validity. Mean ASBQ scores were 38.5 ± 5.0 and 37.0 ± 6.5 for test and retest, respectively, and it was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.37). The correlation coefficients between the ASBQ-J and component scores were all statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Conclusion: ASBQ-J is a reliable questionnaire for assessing sleep disorders in athletes whose primary language is Japanese.
