Cheri emphasizes the importance of prioritizing sleep, especially for athletes, arguing that insufficient rest can lead to a significant increase in injury risk. With studies showing a 1.7-fold higher chance of injury for those getting less than eight hours of sleep, she highlights the biomechanical changes that occur when athletes are underslept, leading to inconsistent movement patterns. Small adjustments to daily routines can set individuals up for better sleep and overall performance.
