Run higher, jump faster, dodge better, and be more accurate. These are things that top athletes would pay good money for. They sometimes even do illegal things! But sleep might be the best kept secret when it comes to performance enhancing. I'll talk about how the Stanford basketball team increased the accuracy of their free throws and 3-point shots by nearly 10%.  I'll even explain how a rat with a shocking floor says a lot about how you should (or shouldn't) be studying the night before a big test. Trust me, this is something you are going to want to hear.  Fair warning, there is a lot of science in this episode, but I do my best to break it down and keep things simple
