The NFL Draft kicks off today and here’s something most people aren’t talking about: sleep can impact where a player gets drafted.
In a study I led in 2019, I found that that just 3 nights of insufficient sleep led to:
✔️ Decreased vertical jump by nearly 2 cm
✔️ Slower reaction times
✔️ More inconsistent biomechanics (which could mean a higher risk of injury)
And when 4 cm could be the difference between drafted vs. undrafted… sleep can be a gamechanger!
Whether you’re training for the NFL or pushing for your personal best, don’t snooze on your sleep! 😴
