Athletes spend hundreds of dollars each year purchasing nutritional supplements that claim to enhance athletic performance, cause rapid muscle growth and lean up flabby bodies. Most of which do not work.
Worse yet, many athletes look for short cuts to get "more energy" by downing energy drinks (Red Bull, Monster, etc.) all day looking for the quick fix. Which is definitely NOT the answer.
Really improving one's athletic performance may actually come down to an easy, less expensive alternative - SLEEP!
"Getting extra sleep over an extended period of time improves athletic performance, alertness and mood, according to a research abstract presented June 8, 2010, in San Antonio, Texas, at SLEEP 2010, the 24th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies LLC."
