My sleep schedule typically doesn’t change much even if I’m in the middle of a tournament. I always strive to get eight hours, but I’m definitely a bit of a night owl”, Serena said.
She continued stating, “I typically go to sleep around 11 p.m.. or midnight so I can get my eight hours in, but it’s important for me to start my nighttime routine early so I can wind down and relax.
