Mandatory Team Nap

Heard back during the week that Northwestern wanted to keep up with the early kickoff schedule, so they decided to have a mandatory team nap before kickoff against the Huskers today.

Do you think this would help or hurt the Wildcats today?

 
As amusingly sissy as it sounds, probably help. A short nap in the middle of the day sounds like a really good thing, especially in preparing them mentally and physically for the work ahead.

That said, even sleep doesn't bestow super powers on them, which they'll need to beat Nebraska ;)

 
This is bizarre to me, in that it is mandatory.... There are people it could benefit, but there are also people that can take a nap and have their whole day thrown off.... I was watching "A Football Life" documentary on NFL Network, and they were talking about how Steve McNair had to take naps before every game.... So, it depends on the individual, and as Husker fans we should all hope that Kolter oversleeps....

Side Note: Anyone who hasn't watched one of the "A Football Life" documentaries is really missing out. They are similar to the "30 for 30" series that ESPN does. Both are well made....

Yea the mandatory part is what gets me. I can understand that morning person would benefit from this. But other folks would probably feel a little sluggish after sleeping all night, then sleeping shortly after waking up again. So there are pros and cons to this, and it comes down to each persons preferences.

 
But really, how many of the players actually sleep? I was so keyed up before games there was no way that I could sleep. Everyone assumes their all sleeping, I would wager only 15% actually sleep.

 
It's not a bad idea. The Huskers have mandatory team naps as well. Unfortunately, they still haven't worked out that they should have them sometime before the game instead of during it.
