Getting adequate sleep is an invaluable part of life, right? Cam Newton doesn’t believe so.
The New England Patriots quarterback gets less than five hours a sleep of night, while waking up at 4:20 a.m. He begins his day by leaving the house at 4:30 a.m., according to a graphic by ESPN. The Ringer’s Rodger Sherman compared Newton’s sleep patterns to other high-functioning athletes.
LeBron James attempts to sleep nearly 10 hours a night and it helps him remain above other NBA players — sometimes hitting up to 12 hours. Michael Phelps aims for at least eight hours of sleep and those are two guys to model these habits after.

ESPN showed a graphic that said Cam Newton goes to sleep at 11:30 p.m. and wakes up at 4:20 a.m.
I could not function on four hours and 50 minutes of sleep per night. I tried. It was called the first few months of fatherhood.
