Taylor Swift Understanding Travis Kelce’s Sleep Schedule & His Need to Doze Off for 10 Hours is a Major Reason Behind Their Blooming Relationship

Every athlete understands the importance of sleep. No all-nighters pondering over game plans or spent in meetings for high-performance athletes. The same goes for Chiefs TE Travis Kelce. Word around the block is that Kelce sleeps for 10 hours a day, which is more than what most working adults can indulge in, but is a necessity for athletes like the football star.

Taylor Swift, who has been on her grueling Eras Tour, too understands the importance of good rest. The singer performed for over three hours during all of her concerts over the last few months, and Travis Kelce himself also called her an “athlete.” Needless to say, she knows the importance of good sleep ‘all too well.’

As the romance between the two celebrities blossoms, a lot of details have come forth about the same. And one such detail is Swift’s “supportiveness” of Kelce’s “demanding” sleep schedule. The TE’s father talked to Entertainment Tonight about the budding romance and was all praise for the pop star and her positive influence on his son.

Ed Kelce revealed the major reason why the two are so compatible: a commitment to their respective crafts and mutual respect for each other’s dedication. Talking of their individual demanding schedules, he said,

“I think they are two very, very driven professional individuals. I think they’re very supportive of each other, which is key. This is a rough time for either one of them to have a relationship. She’s in the middle of this ginormous tour, he’s knee-deep [in the NFL season]. At least he takes his just as serious as she takes hers as far as commitment to their craft.”

Despite their demanding schedules, the two have been making time for each other. Whether it’s Taylor supporting him from the sidelines during Chiefs games or the two linking up for some cutesy New York dates, the jet-setting couple has been in it to win it. This not only shows their commitment to their careers but also to each other. On how the two support each other, Ed said,

“I think she’s very committed to that. And I think Travis supports that. And I think she realizes how committed Travis is to sleep, 10 hours a day when your body is going through this kind of thing. So I think they’re both very supportive.”

Travis Kelce is a Pro Napper

NFL teams have been becoming more aware of the crucial role sleep plays in maintaining their players’ well-being. Some teams even seek guidance from sleep scientists to optimize their schedules, ensuring players get adequate rest and stay in peak condition. The secret to Travis Kelce’s explosive on-field performance is not only intense training but also a solid sleep schedule. As revealed by his father Kelce is quite the sleeper but Kelce himself had revealed his propensity for napping throughout the day. The 2022 Super Bowl winner had revealed his nap schedule in the pre-bowl press conference, per ProFootballTalk.

Talking of the importance of having enough sleep, the TE had said that nap time is the time when his body rests and recuperates after a long practice session, and season. Kelce sure takes his sleep very seriously as he added that he likes to take 45 minutes to an hour-long “cat naps,” sometimes multiple times a day to meet the demands of his physically grueling lifestyle. The 31-year-old humorously added during the conference, “I’ve already taken one today and it’s not even noon.”

Looking at all this, and examining what Ed Kelce recently stated, it won’t be too steep a hyperbole to suggest that ‘sound sleep’ is definitely a factor that has positively impacted Travis and Taylor’s relationship.
