ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: consumption of sugar or sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with Overweight and short sleep duration, which are known as health risk factors (HRFs). However, the relationship between higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and sleep disorders is not completely clear.

Methods: In this study, 20 athletes who met the conditions for entering the study were randomly selected from among the clubs in Kashan city (1 women's club, 1 men's club). To evaluate the sleep quality of the participants, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire (with 7 scales of subjective sleep quality, delay in falling asleep, length of useful sleep, sleep adequacy (ratio of length of useful sleep to time spent in bed) ), sleep disorders (waking up at night) and amount of medication It evaluates sleepiness and disturbances in daily functioning (problems caused by insomnia during the day) were used.

Results: Data analysis showed a significant relationship between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and sleep disorders (0.000).

Further research with more precise measurements and gender-specific and prospective designs should be conducted to elucidate the underlying causes and mechanisms.
