Sleep

Becoming a champion requires sacrifices, and one of the sacrifices most young people are not willing to make is time management. As a result most athletes do not get enough sleep to support the training load. 

To pave the way for better sleep, follow these simple yet effective healthy sleep tips, including:
  • Stick to a sleep schedule, even on weekends.
  • Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual.
  • Exercise daily.
  • Evaluate your bedroom to ensure ideal temperature, sound and light.
  • Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.
  • Beware of hidden sleep stealers, like alcohol and caffeine.
  • Turn off electronics before bed.

How much sleep?

Teens are recommended to get 8-10 hours of sleep every night.
