Wow an actually informative segment from espn. More of this please.
imagine?! love it
😍
The fact u think this is “informative” shows how much trouble we r in
@@samwaldinger3914 It is lmao maybe everyone dosent need to know it but its informative.
@@Lesqueeze825 cmon now lesqueeze it almost makes them look worse. Some things r better left unsaid. If I was the opponent going against them I’m thinking this in my head Everytime down the court and it’s smelling like bbq chickens. Sleeping is necessary for everyone obviously but u shouldn’t go advertising it
ofc giannis saying the most giannis things ever, this is why he's one of my favorite players 😂
😍
😍
🥶
oh you mean Yawnis?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so gut wrenching funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I take a pre game nap for 2 hrs daily except I don’t have a game after. 😂
😂😂
Same
Giannis just had my google playin waves.
sameee lol
Need more like this. People love to know little details about athletes lives, and how aspects of them can be used to help in our own day to day.
Showing this to my toddler who recently stopped taking naps.
Really a big reason that they need naps is because their sleep schedule is broken because of all the traveling they do so they’re probably running on four or five hours of sleep, so that nap is essential to recuperate before games
When he said "hey Google, play wave music" my video paused and Google assistant was activated on my phone😂
Yoo same😂
🤯🤠
🤠
I was like what’s this noise?
I’m not even a professional basketball player, taking a pregame nap is vital for my performance
2:48 nah why'd they do Steph so bad?? bro looks like jumps outta bushes and flashes people in San Francisco
😂😂😂
Second illustration took me out! I thought that was Delonte West😭
Hahahah what a comment
man Giannis narrated perfectly :)
I'm surprised that no one talked about sleep cycles and making sure you don't wake up in the middle of a cycle.
facts i usally take 30 minute power naps and those feeling amazing
@@beastboy9472 Yeap, you are making sure not to get into a cycle. A true power nap.
Surprised? This is well known. That's why u heard everyone saying 3 hr nap
@@abcxyz-py8ui Obviously some of the commenters.
sleep cycles are a common myth. you can’t track sleep cycles because you don’t know exactly when you fall asleep. A sleep cycle doesn’t start when you lay down. it starts when you actually fall asleep which is impossible to track
Love this new animation format
More of these please 🙏🏼 this rocks
This was great, more of this please!
3 hour nap is a long nap. At that point it stops being a nap😂
Nah, 3 hours is perfect for a nap anything above 3 hours hits REM I believe so it comes in just under the line.
@@semi6544 3 hour is SLEEP. Nap is no more than an hour.
@@TheRealGreekFreak34 -- I was bored so after receiving this comment I did some research.
There was no clear consensus on what amount of time is considered a nap and what is considered sleep.
Many of the "experts" didn't agree on points. A lot of posts did have 15-30 minutes as a normal nap.
Many also considered 90 minutes the most optimal period of time for a nap.
3 hours wasn't viewed as a good thing. Many said 3 hours could leave you groggy.
I think this research isn't designed for athletes though. It is probably just how normal people would feel otherwise this research would be far too different than what these athletes feel when they get 2-3 hours.
Also, a routine is a routine maybe the research doesn't account for training your body to make this act a positive one for your body.
You are probably right. 3 hours is probably sleep and if the researcher's results mean anything, it is probably bad sleep.
@@semi6544 I've had "sleeping" issues since 2006. I used to never wake up to anything. Always overslept. Then, I started to wake up early and often (was still young back then). I researched sleep A LOT.
You either (1) have to power nap which you mentioned. You wake up before your body goes into deep sleep or (2) make sure you wake up after a sleep cycle ends. The time of a sleep cycle is variable depending on the person. It doesn't matter if it's 1 cycle, 2 or 3, as long as it's at the end of a cycle.
(It's one of the main functions I used for the iPhone when the app came out in the early 2010s.)
@@HKim0072 -- I did look into sleep before today but it was because I was opposite of you. When I left the army, I couldn't sleep. I had no control over whether I'd sleep or not.
The worst case scenarios were when I had deadlines or appointments.
Should I try to sleep when I hadn't slept yet when there was 2-3 hours before the deadline.
In those situations a "nap" was never possible if I fell asleep, I always overslept. I could never execute the "nap".
If I nap for more than 5-10 minutes during the day it is much harder for me to fall asleep at night. These dudes must burn so much energy during the game it doesn't matter
Fr before i hurt my knee i could sleep during the day and get sleepy during the night and wake UP fresh now i can't sleep at night and feel sleepy at the day, and also i Felt so alive playing bruh i Hope my knee heals
Also i think so much of the time these guys sleep schedules overnight are absolutely fucked and so the nap is kinda the payoff to either a terrible previous nights sleep or knowing that you aren't going to be getting much sleep that night due to game/travel etc
Really enjoyed this
Giannis is the best 😂
Bro is hilarious😂🤣
We need more of these kind of videos
great video more plzzzz
Great stuff! I want more of these videos.😊
More of this ESPN, this is good content.
I play in a band and taking a pre show nap is critical for me to have energy, a full social battery, and playing tight/focused.
Please ESPN PLEAAASE more of these super informative NBA players routine/ health tips / habits.
Giannis so polite to Google when he gets those waves going
Great content!
I loved watching this for real
Best segment.
"Hey, Googol!"
--Giannis 'Oreo Man' Antetokounmpo
I’m about to go take a nap. Watch out.
Best thing I watched from ESPN in a while
Hey NBA/ESPN this is great content. It reminds me of the "Get to know the driver" segments a lot of the Formula 1 teams have here on TH-cam.
This is a science to the game that I didn't consider. I liked that you referred to a sleep specialist as well :)
Subscribed!
love this
Good content
those curry drawings were insane lmao
You start this in college. I was college athlete and we’d nap all the time because we had class early.
That “snooze you lose” line is what got him his doctorate
I did this before games in high school. It’s more like a feeling of knowing you are fresh and rested. Same thing before taking exams etc
How do you not love Giannis! 😂
Thank you Professor Jefferson
Did this before every football game in HS. Now I do it before I go and dance at shows/ fests.
We need a full daily routine video!
this was top tier, a+ job espn
Glaze train
@@JK8 learn to enjoy things or you'll die miserable
good content
Best bit of content ESPN produced in a minute
Considering most games are late at night, even later if you're travelling to a different timezone, it would make sense sleeping a few hours before would energize you.
I fw this video
ngl sleeping before a highschool game was a mission. I can only imagine tryna sleep night before a pro game that nap be clutch 💯
Imma start napping before my hobby-league matches now 😂
20 mins is perfect
Nah they still gave AD a unibrow 😂
lol
its signature
Ofcoursee seeing AD without his unibrow would be weird
I knew the 10 min lunch naps I take was good for me!!! Yessah
hahah my google started playing! well done Giannis.. well done!
i thought it should only be 30 mins. But this is a good segment. Please do more.
its cuz they are doing naps for the duration of an entire sleep cycle whilst the 30min power nap is sleep without entering a cycle since waking up in the middle of one is what makes you even more tired than u were before
In many Asian countries, normal jobs like office workers, factory workers, etc will take naps for 0.5-2 hours during the day around lunch time to reset for the afternoon. I wish there was this culture of napping in North America too 😢
Midnight
Afternoon rest is literally wired into humans. We go against it by continuing to work and taking stimulants
@@coasteyscoasteys4150 we call it shift sleepiness disorder
@@coasteyscoasteys4150 That's just not true, thinking everyone has the same body chemistry is pure ignorance. I couldn't take a nap if I tried, if I got good sleep.
A fresh and an interactive way for fans to get more of a glimpse into the lives of these superstars? No way this is ESPN.
I had no idea. I know a nap after working out helps recovery but didn't know they did it before a game. Get us some more of this inside info!!
I'm gonna take a nap when I have a game starting today! ❤️
PB&J BANANA & NAPS IS ABSOLUTE PROMISING
For Giannis, in Greece afternoon nap is normal (siesta in Spain)
naps are amazing and lack of sleep is bad for you. just don't nap too much and you feel amazing
Thanks Giannis! Youve just awaken my phone to play some waves. lol
Great segment on an important part of the game! Recovery! Because you “ can’t pour from an empty cup” 🛌💤💤
We learning with this one🗣️🔥 😁
People need to see more of the proccess instead of the results. Well done
YAWNnis clever asf lol
The way Giannis talks reminds me so much of Haaland for some reason hahaha, they both sound so nice and innocent
Love how they used the music from that spongebob episode where squidward moves to squidville XD
great
2:53 Steph’s cartoon 😂
That lamp got me realizing the color combo for the Wolves is wild 😂
You(we) do the same it’s just not publicized like this 🙌🏼
Richard Jefferson’s cartoon at the end looks like lil Bill😂
Imma take a nap rn! 😴👍✨
So no ones gonna talk about AD’s Zesty Cartoon Drawing 😂😂😂😂
Whoever drew Curry did him dirty 😂
30min Nap in my car during my lunch time at work helps me so much.
Giannis is always funny 😂
Good to know I'm on track to becoming an NBA player
What did I just watch? This is awesome 🤣🤣
Whoa, I never thought I’d relate to Curry. I’m also a profess napper, sleep anywhere anytime 😂😂
afternoon nap has huge benefit to anyone, not just athlete
anyone that has worked 5-6am to 2-3pm prob knows…. you get that 60-90min nap in, *dayum*, it’s like you got a supercharged
I love how Giannis says please to his Google Home lmao
Would be interesting to also know how many hours they sleep during the night
AD definately not sleeping with all them injuries
Instead of needing a 3 hour nap mid day, the NBA should let them sleep in...
I think I’m gonna do this before I hit the studio
Giannis is funny
This is dope. It reminds me of how ESPN used to be
Got put on a performamce review for napping at work today, manager did not like the "you snooze you win" line...
Steph don't look like that irl gang😂💀
They did AD dirty with that unibrow 😂
I think they should've also noted that they probably can't sleep too well at night (travel, post exercise adrenaline after game). At least for me, I can't do any exercise after like 7PM or I won't be able to fall asleep until like 3AM
Love me some naps!
Klay did not take a pre-game nap after going 0/10💀
Giannis man 😂😂
That video made me wanna take a nap, and I don't even have a game today
Not Zion dozing off in a nap video 😂😂
