Sleep and psychological wellbeing of racehorse industry workers: A survey of Australian trainers

ConclusionsDaytime dysfunction due to fatigue was an important predictor of lower psychological wellbeing in this sample of horse trainers. Longitudinal and qualitative investigation of both sleep and non ‐sleep as factors in generating fatigue could assist to further delineate predictors of depression and anxiety in this population. Better understanding of interacting sleep and wellbeing processes may lead to useful self‐management strategies to address the apparent heightened psychological dist ress of some racing industry workers.
