With so many possible college bracket combinations, all those blank spaces can be daunting to fill in. This year, Sleep Number offers college basketball fans a new way to complete their 2018 college basketball brackets.

Sleep Number threw out conventional tools – like probability and stats – and, instead, examined how well each city slumbered this semester. Add in some fancy analytics, and the result is a bracket prediction based on which college towns slept the best, which is a leading indicator of athletic performance.

So, go ahead: copy this perfect basketball tournament bracket, which may just help you win your pool. Or, more than likely, you’ll just sleep better knowing you have the body’s most essential need for peak performance – sleep – informing this year’s selection.
