Did you know West Coast NFL teams have a significant performance advantage when playing East Coast teams during night matchups? 🕰️💪 In a study I collaborated on spanning 40 NFL seasons, we found that the West Coast teams have a body clock advantage compared to the East Coast teams. Here’s the reason—West Coast teams’ body clocks are operating 3 hours earlier than East Coast teams which better align with peak performance hours in the late afternoon to early evening, regardless of which coast the night game was played on! Our body clocks are our time keepers—they keep us synchronized to our time zone, regulate our daily activities, and play a bigger role than we might realize in game-time readiness and ultimately performance outcomes! —— Dr. Cheri D.
