Abstract: This study examines the relationships between sports, concussion history, sleep health, and attention in athletes aged 18–25. Ccollision athletes reported slightly poorer sleep and attentional control. Moderate correlations between sleep and attention suggest sleep's role in cognitive performance, highlighting methodological challenges and future research needs.
