Understanding the why behind getting enough sleep is an important first step in any student athlete’s quest towards a healthier sleep schedule. With proper sleep, in the right sleep environment, many student athletes will not only find they perform better in the classroom—but that their game improves as well. They can enjoy more focused play, quicker reaction times and faster workout recovery. Of course, getting enough sleep can also help with the immune system which will keep students healthy whether they are hitting the pitch or hitting the books for a late night.
