Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Dear Author(s),

 

Your manuscript is very interesting and comprehensively written. However, there are some improvement suggestions I would highly recommend to to take into consideration. 

 

Kindly, see below:

  • please move all section 4 to be section 2 after the Introduction and renumber the sections
  • it would be useful to emphasize in the introduction why the study is important
  • write a conclusion for the study with the main results
  • in the discussion section please include some limitations of the study, maybe one limitation can be the selection of only the databases etc. 

TThank you!

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This is a good manuscript regarding the effects of concussion on adolescent sleep. It is not an article about sports-related concussion. The title and multiple statements are misleading. Only 5 of the nine studies pertained to sports-related concussion. The title should be Concussion disrupts sleep in adolescents. The first line of the abstract is misleading and must be changed. Line 27 states that you conducted a study of the effects of sports-related concussion. You did not. Line 29 states that you included papers presenting differences following sports-related concussion. That is not true. Line 31 states that conditions other than sports-related concussion were excluded. That is false. Line 45 mentions a conclusion about adolescent athletes. That is not justified by the data. Please revise the paper to correct all the misleading statements.
