Abstrak

The quality of sleep-in athletes contributes to athletic performance, injury risk, recovery time, cardiovascular endurance and anaerobic strength. Pencak silat athletes also have a risk of having poor sleep quality, in connection with the intensity of training and academic stress in athletes who are students. However, specific data on the prevalence and risk factors for sleep quality disorders in athletes are still limited. This study is aimed at determining the quality of sleep and factors related to pencak silat athletes. A cross-sectional study conducted on pencak silat athletes in Buleleng Regency in June-August 2025. A total of 32 pencak silat athletes participated in this research, who were selected using the total sampling method. The criteria for sample inclusion set include being willing to be the subject of the research, and signing the informed consent, being present at the data collection, being able to fill out the questionnaire completely and participating in the data collection until the end. The exclusion criteria in this study are athletes in poor physical and mental health, who are diagnosed by a doctor, and have moved their domicile outside Buleleng. Sleep quality data were collected by the interview method using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. As many as 59.4% of pencak silat athletes have good sleep quality.  Early wake-up time, the use of sleep medications, the presence of sleep disorders and sleep efficiency are factors related to the quality of athletes' sleep (p <0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the sleep quality of pencak silat athletes is quite good. So, it is recommended to increase adequate sleep time supervision between 8-10 hours per day, avoid the use of sleeping pills and overcome sleep disorders in athletes to maintain athlete performance.
