Sleep helps athletes
perform at their best
"While you sleep, your mind doesn’t stop. Your brain takes the memories it remembers and reorganizes and reconstructs them. You can strengthen your memory ability by going through a process of practicing your skills while you are sleeping. This process is known as consolidation.
"Along with increasing your creativity, sleep increases your physical performance. It is crucial for athletes to achieve an adequate night’s sleep before their game days. Increasing your sleep can improve athletes’ sprint time and stamina, as well as decreasing their level of fatigue."
