I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program. - Tom Brady

Sleep is all about recovering. So if you’re not sleeping, you’re not recovering. And if you’re going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I’m up at 5:30 the next day. - Tom Brady

Proper sleep has helped me get to where I am today as an athlete, and it is something that I continue to rely on every day. - Tom Brady

I don’t go to bed at 1 A.M. and wake up at 5 A.M. and say, ‘Let’s see if I can get this done today.’ - Tom Brady

Remember, it is easier to do something 100% of the time - because there is no alternative. It it is 99%, there is always a small doubt and a choice.
