One of his more surprising habits, and perhaps his secret weapon, is his strict 8 p.m. bedtime.

Burrow isn\u2019t shy about the role sleep plays in his success. In November 2023, he shared the reasoning behind his early bedtime routine, saying,\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019ve got to get your sleep to recover. If you want to be your best, you\u2019ve got to sleep and let your body recover.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0He emphasized that sleep is crucial to maximizing athletic potential, which is why he\u2019s created a strict routine for himself.<\/p>\n

His recovery from a calf strain last season, which forced him to miss the first four games, is proof of how vital this routine has been. Burrow credits his quick recovery and improved performance to his sleep strategy. His commitment to rest has not only helped him get back on the field faster but may have played a role in him winning the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0MVP.<\/p>\n

Burrow isn\u2019t just guessing when it comes to the importance of sleep. Research has consistently shown that well-rested athletes perform better.
