Jockers did not state anymore specifics of the study parameters, but did provide the accuracy percentage of which the basketball players' three-point shots improved (2011).
From the perspective of a research analysis, Jockers provided trivial information from the Mah studies. Perhaps to an under informed reader, however, knowing that athletes were able to make more three-point shots and sprint faster after having more sleep is enough information to be convinced of Jockers's argument. Even for the less-informed reader, there are places in the article in which the focus is distracted from the main objective. For example, Jockers explains that Dr. Czeisler is "nicknamed the sleep doctor" and he "works with [sports] teams such as the Boston Celtics" (2011). These points may further engage a reader, but are not balanced with an adequate amount of research specifics to keep the article centered on the benefits of napping.
The title of the article, "Daytime Naps Improve Performance" is somewhat misleading. The article does not solely adhere to the advantages and outcomes of daytime napping, and tends to revert between napping and general sleep. Jockers also directs...
The article could potentially be more successful if he did not weight athletic performance so heavily, and also described how napping can improve anyone's physiological performance. Jockers acknowledges a passable amount of research in order for his point to be made and easy to agree with: sleeping is good for one's overall bodily performance. The article, however, does not maintain focus on daytime napping, provides limited details of the specific studies, and results to basic generalizations of research findings. For example, Jocker states, "Sleep also improves the immune system and reduces inflammatory behavior in the body" (2011), without referring to a study or explaining how sleep physically or biochemically improves health. Jockers aims to provide the reader with an abundance of information with a minimal word count, and by doing so, he makes an easily understood point but his execution lacks focus and detail.

brain plays a vital role in the area of cognitive functions. Different sections of the brain are responsible for a number of different cognitive capabilities including memory, prediction, emotional response, sensory perception, and numerous others. Despite the partitioning of the brain and its means of providing cognitive capabilities, the different areas of this organ work in concert to produce some pivotal cognitive processes including decision-making and deriving action (output)
Brain Injury and DamageIntroductionBrain damage can present itself during the postnatal stage, perinatal, or even the prenatal stage. The prenatal phase arises before birth, and brain damage during this stage harms the brain's development in several ways. It alters cell maturation, proliferation, or migration leading to a future brain malfunction. The perinatal phase entails the phase at the time of birth, while postnatal is the period after (Wilson, 2013).This paper

MTBI and Depression Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs as a result of force to the skull or brain. The probability of receiving a TBI is increased if one is participates in a number of sports such as professional football in the National Football League (NFL) and in a number of vocations such being in the military. The results of a TBI include a number of cognitive and emotional symptoms (McCrea, 2008).
