Maybe there are opinions on all sides of this issue - but it is hard to dismiss this:
Fariha Abbasi-Feinberg, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, saw things differently.

Michael Breus, a clinical sleep specialist, pointed out there was no data to examine other than the score.
“(But) I’d say the Rams need more sleep to be able to adapt to that type of change,’’ he told USA TODAY Sports.
The general principle for adjusting to jet lag is a day for every time zone crossed, said Susheel Patil, system director and section chief for sleep medicine at the University Hospitals of Cleveland.
“Seems like the travel ahead strategy worked out for the 49ers,’’ he told USA TODAY Sports. “I think most sleep docs would favor the strategy if you did a poll.’’
