As a sleep physician working with elite athletes at every level, I’m here to bust some myths. Student-athletes’ brains are still developing and that development needs sufficient sleep. My study of Stanford student-athletes showed high levels of daytime sleepiness and tiredness. Studies have also shown athletes who sleep less than 8 hours a night have 1.7x increased injury risk!

Want to perform like the pros? Prioritize your sleep like one!
