In today's episode, we discuss the critical importance of sleep for young athletes, featuring insights from Dr. Mita Shing of the Henry Ford Health System. Teenagers need at least 9 hours of sleep to maintain optimal performance and health. Lack of sleep can double or triple reaction times, increase the risk of injury by missing visual cues, and significantly lower testosterone levels. We'll also share practical tips for achieving better sleep, such as maintaining a cool environment, limiting phone use before bed, and establishing a consistent bedtime routine. Join us to learn how proper sleep can help young athletes reach their full potential.
