Joe Mazzulla has an unquestionably demanding job as head coach of the Celtics, and apparently that’s led to him finding alternative ways to ensure he gets as much sleep as possible.
On Wednesday, Mazzulla confirmed, via 98.5 The Sports Hub's Zolak & Bertrand, that he sleeps with his mouth taped shut, something he’s been doing ever since he started coaching in the league.
The 34-year-old revealed that he began using “sleep tape” due to the emotional, physical and mental drain that comes with the lengthy NBA season. After feeling “worn down” during his first year in coaching, Mazzulla said he began using the tape in order to maximize his sleep.
