In 2018, Green Bay Packers wide receiver, Davante Adams, age 25 at the time, said this about getting to bed: “Usually 11:00, 11:30 [p.m.] is when I get to bed. It’s consistent through the week, whether I have a game or not. I wake up — give or take — about 7:00, 7:30, depending on the day. I try to get my eight hours. Sometimes it’s seven, seven and a half, around there. I try to have my body on the same schedule, so it gets used to it. Sleep is one of the biggest things to kind of rejuvenate the body. I take it pretty serious…” Athletes are well aware of studies that point to physical, mental and emotional recovery and how sleep plays a huge role.
