aim of this research is to perform a comparative analysis of sleep quality and insomnia
in male and female wrestlers, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the

Quality Index (PSQI) and the Pittsburgh Insomnia Rating Scale (PIRS); the age range
of the subject is 16-25 years of age, and the size of the sample is 10 for each male and
