P.E.D.s - How Sleep Impacts Performance (cont..)

Extending Your Career
Since I know that most of you are looking to turning “pro” as a D10 athlete, I’d like to suggest not to overlook the importance of sleep. A study completed on fellow peer professional athletes from the sub-culture sport of Major League Baseball found that fatigue significantly shortened their careers and limited their earnings potential.
Take-away: It’s really simple. Increasing your sleep increases your career earnings (or at least that’s the way I read that study).
Whether you’re competing as professional athlete in the D10 or simply competing at the highest level in the game of life, sleep plays a crucial role in your performance. From decreased reaction times to improved memory and learning, sometimes the most important action you can take is the action of inaction.
