Eating habits, workout plans, and game day traditions are all broken down to a science and executed with extreme precision for athletes. Their performances are improved by enhancing their sleep health. Here are a few tips to improve your sleep habits just like a pro athlete.

  1. Take it one time zone at a time. Your body needs time to adjust to a change in time. Give yourself “one day per time zone” when possible.
  2. Winding down is important for sleeping. Prepare your body for sleep by engaging in a calming activity to wind down before bed.
  3. Good sleep takes training. Simple steps like going to bed a few minutes early or using a few extra minutes to wind down before bed will help train your body for sleep.
