Sleep is the Seahawks Secret Weapon

The Seattle Seahawks have integrated a comprehensive sleep program led by expert Dr. Cheri D. Mah to maximize player performance and recovery. This initiative treats rest as a competitive tool, educating rookies and veterans on how quality sleep improves physical speed, cognitive decision-making, and injury prevention. To support this, the organization utilizes an interdepartmental task force that implements specialized travel schedules and individual sleep hygiene plans. By focusing on these marginal gains, the team aims to overcome the physical toll of frequent travel across different time zones. Ultimately, the Seahawks view optimized rest as a foundational element of their training, equal in importance to nutrition and strength conditioning.
