When you’re an athlete, your sleep is just as important as your performance.
Being a professional basketball player is a physically strenuous occupation. Before you even get on the court to compete, you’re lifting weights, practicing, and you’re on the road. So, after a long day’s work, it’s clear that your body needs time to (you guessed it) recharge. Mattress Firm understands that a good night’s rest is essential and knows that when you have the right mattress, nothing gets in the way of a good night’s sleep.
Dennis Smith Jr. couldn’t agree more. The 6-foot-2 inch point guard describes his style of play as aggressive, so it makes you wonder how someone so committed to winning can get any sleep, much less a good night’s rest. Well, the answer is easy. Smith was matched with the perfect mattress from Mattress Firm.
Complex caught up with Smith and asked him a few hard-hitting questions about, you guessed it, sleeping. Check out the video to learn how many pillows Smith needs, how many hours of sleep he gets and whether Miami nightlife can separate him from his beloved bed.
