The 2020 NBA bubble, where players stayed in one place instead of traveling, showed measurable gains: better shooting, fewer turnovers, more rebounds. Eliminating jet lag and getting more sleep sharpened performance. The same principle works in everyday life.
Want to think clearer and perform better in work and life? Copy what the NBA did in 2020. Imagine you're in a bubble with LeBron James. Back during COVID NBA teams all had to stop traveling. And so this study looked at the consequences. The gist? In the 2020 NBA bubble, when no teams had to fly, performance spiked pretty much for all players and all teams. Travel messes with your body clock. And your game. So, for NBA players, less jet lag meant better shooting, fewer turnovers, more rebounds. So, the takeaway for those of us who can't dunk: travel less, sleep more, and start winning.
