As more experts have voiced their opinion about importance of sleep among athletes, sports organisations have begun providing additional care to their athletes.

Instead of expensive recovery provisions, athletes may benefit more from learning about how effectively their bodies are optimised to heal through sleep.<\/p>\n
Tom Brady, star quarterback of New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL), was quoted saying \u201cI think sleep is so important because I break my body down so much with my sport. It\u2019s the only place to get the recovery that I need. After the kids go to bed I\u2019m right behind them and, whenever they wake up, is usually when I wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Athletes who are constantly on the go can also benefit from developing healthy sleep routines to help them fall asleep no matter where they are. This could include baths before bed, a cup of warm tea and soothing music. If there is a lot of noise coming from the street, a white noise machine can help block out distracting sounds. It is important to keep the screens away as the light from it can disrupt sleeping patterns. This can include television, laptop and even their mobile phones. Avoiding caffeine induced beverages like sodas or coffee before bedtime can also help them sleep faster. Sticking to a set schedule of sleep can habituate the body to sleeping a fixed number of hours every day. Your body clock is an extremely powerful weapon to use against sleep disruptions and habituating it through discipline can pay off in the long run.<\/p>\n

They push their bodies to limits and redefine possibilities. They need to be well-rested every night to push harder the next day. A good night\u2019s sleep allows the body to recover after a day of exertion. The REM cycle helps the brain release hormones that rests the body and facilitates healing and recovery.
