    Really a big reason that they need naps is because their sleep schedule is broken because of all the traveling they do so they’re probably running on four or five hours of sleep, so that nap is essential to recuperate before games

      sleep cycles are a common myth. you can’t track sleep cycles because you don’t know exactly when you fall asleep. A sleep cycle doesn’t start when you lay down. it starts when you actually fall asleep which is impossible to track

      @@TheRealGreekFreak34 -- I was bored so after receiving this comment I did some research.
      There was no clear consensus on what amount of time is considered a nap and what is considered sleep.
      Many of the "experts" didn't agree on points. A lot of posts did have 15-30 minutes as a normal nap.
      Many also considered 90 minutes the most optimal period of time for a nap.
      3 hours wasn't viewed as a good thing. Many said 3 hours could leave you groggy.
      I think this research isn't designed for athletes though. It is probably just how normal people would feel otherwise this research would be far too different than what these athletes feel when they get 2-3 hours.
      Also, a routine is a routine maybe the research doesn't account for training your body to make this act a positive one for your body.
      You are probably right. 3 hours is probably sleep and if the researcher's results mean anything, it is probably bad sleep.

      @@semi6544 I've had "sleeping" issues since 2006. I used to never wake up to anything. Always overslept. Then, I started to wake up early and often (was still young back then). I researched sleep A LOT.
      You either (1) have to power nap which you mentioned. You wake up before your body goes into deep sleep or (2) make sure you wake up after a sleep cycle ends. The time of a sleep cycle is variable depending on the person. It doesn't matter if it's 1 cycle, 2 or 3, as long as it's at the end of a cycle.
