Extended sleep may give athletes a boost.

"Cheri Mah, a researcher at the Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic and Research Laboratory and lead author of the study, acknowledged that the athletes didn't always hit the 10-hour mark. But they noticed a difference even if sleep was extended by a half-hour, she says: The athletes' sprinting drills were faster, their hitting was more accurate and deeper, and their mood improved."
