An interesting new study on the effects of sleep and athletic performance.


"Although much research has established the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive function, mood and performance, relatively little research has investigated the effects of extra sleep over multiple nights on these variables, and even less on the specific relationship between extra sleep and athletic performance. This study illuminated this latter relationship and showed that obtaining extra sleep was associated with improvements in indicators of athletic performance and mood among members of the men's basketball team."

I think this explains the uphill crash at cottage grove a while back. And Me forgetting to set my lock out to off at afton.
I'm going back to bed!
