    Everyone needs a good night's sleep. And footballers with their hectic schedules, the domestic games, the international tournaments, tours and friendlies, need sleep much more than many people realise.
    But why? What is the science behind sleep? Written by Seb Stafford-Bloor, illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

    I'm sure every top manager does this but if anyone listens to ten hag's press conferences recently he has consistently talked about recovery, sleep and food to keep the squad in the best shape possible for a congested run of matches. Obviously more is going on the background but for most teams who play intense football that plays a more important role than a training session sometimes.
