A couple of weeks ago, I was tired all of the time.

Question

I would find myself dragging my feet during baseball practice. I was so tired that my mom said, "You look like one of those zombies from a horror movie. Your face is pale, your eyelids are drooping, and your words sound like mumbles."
After she said that, I started going to sleep earlier every night.
It wasn't easy to give up that time in my day, but I can tell it was worth it because my brain no longer feels like pancake batter! I can think clearly, and my coach told me I was fielding the ball better than ever.
I suggest you get more sleep, Sam.

Hey Nick,

Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like you made a really positive change by prioritizing your sleep. I can totally relate to feeling tired and sluggish, especially after long days of school and practice. Your mom's zombie comment definitely seems to have hit home – sometimes it takes a little wake-up call to realize how important rest is!

It's awesome to hear that getting more sleep has made such a difference in your performance on the baseball field. It’s amazing how much clearer our minds can be when we’re well-rested. I think I’ll take your advice and try to hit the sack earlier too. I’d love to field the ball better and not feel so foggy during the day.

Keep up the great work on and off the field!

Best,
Sam
