As someone who also ankifies everything, I’ve noticed my recall has improved ever since I started sleeping more each night consistently (coincided with when I got the Pod).
I’m sure NBA players could benefit from something like this
I’ve always wondered if the home team advantage is mostly caused by sleep deprivation. I know baseball stadiums have idiosyncrasies (home run distance varies), but I’m not aware if anything similar for basketball. The home team advantage is also pretty striking for win rates in the NBA: 58% of games are were won by the home team in the 2017-2018 season[0]. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_advantage
How is this even news worthy? There's so many things I could think of more important than the sleep routine of an luxury- accommodated group of athletes, who by greed decide to play 82 games per season. I believe it has been suggested to shorten the season but they neglect to do it because it means less money.
In the interest of obtaining top performance, this does seem news-worthy. You may wish to examine your biases towards professional athletes that is coloring your comments.
Anyways, who the heck is the one pushing this media agenda? I just stumbled upon the same garbage on reddit [1]. I assume they can bigger and better beds with the money they will save up from China.

Every year when I go to re:invent, Amazon's big conference in Las Vegas, I schedule nap time from 3pm to 5pm. When I'm there I meeting with lots of different people, from as early as 7am to as late (early?) as 1am, and sometimes I'm out till 3am or later. That nap is the only thing that makes it bearable. And I get mocked for it and I don't care. But sleep is no joke. I also do all the blue shift/night shift stuff on…
Off topic a bit, but I have a small sony flatscreen tv in the house. The only one, but the kids use it all the time now. Does anyone know of a way to "night shift" those things? Kids are trying their best to get into university, so I get that late studying is necessary. I even get that some kids prefer to watch some things on the TV. (Youtube/Netflix documentaries etc.) I've replaced lights, etc. But the TV is still…
> To fight back, he says he hopes to grab a few hours of sleep on the plane to Houston. He hopes the hotel bed there is OK, though that's never a guarantee. From what I have seen, most pro teams stay at some of the nicest hotels in said visiting city. With that said, I'm surprised to see the "He hopes the hotel bed there is OK, though that's never a guarantee." But maybe that's also just coming from my own experience…
I personally find the beds in the fanciest hotels the hardest to sleep in because everything is just so... fluffy .
I’ve said this on HN before, but I got the eight sleep pod and im loving it. The companion app legitimately helps me manage sleep deprivation and I’ve had much higher quality sleep.

I am a firm believer in the importance of 8+ hours of sleep but I have trouble feeling sorry for these guys as they are earning obscene 8 figure salaries in some cases and around a million at a MINIMUM for a player with 1 year of experience.

I used to work out at the gym attached to San Francisco's Four Seasons. That's where a lot of visiting teams stayed and they'd also come down to the gym. The strangest thing I ever saw was a bunch of athletes and their trainers come down to the gym late at night, 9/10pm, and do an extremely easy workout. Like, one guy was just walking slowly on a treadmill while the trainer monitored him. I'm assuming they'd just got…
