Most people need 7 to 9 hours of sleep at night. If you are training, you may need more, because when you work out you burn more calories than people who don’t, Geier says, “You’re pushing your body in practice, so you need more time to recover.”

The quality and amount of sleep athletes have is often the key to winning. Remember, sleep in particular provides energy to both the brain and the body. If sleep is cut short, the body doesn’t have time to repair memory, consolidate memory, and release hormones. Exercise depletes energy, fluids, and breaks down muscle, therefore a sufficient amount of sleep is a must.
