Sleepy in Seattle: Cristian Roldan can snooze literally anywhere

It's been a pretty exhausting year for Cristian Roldan. Since last June, no one in MLS played more minutes than the third-year midfielder. He made 43 straight starts - missing just 17 minutes of action - until earning his first call-up with the U.S. national team last month. On July 13, he recorded his first cap, playing all 90 minutes in a 3-2 win over Martinique in the Gold Cup group stage.


So yeah, I'd be pretty wiped out, too.


After scoring the game-winning goal in an improbable 4-3 win on Wednesday evening at CenturyLink Field, Roldan had some fun on Twitter. Through the club's partnership with CHI Franciscan Health, he posted a playful video to promote good sleep.

Let's take a closer look at each nap location (along with a comfort ranking).


Locker Room
4/5

This is a very good nap spot. It's a climate-controlled environment and there is added comfort of towels and clothes. However, you're setting yourself up for a rude awakening via Chad Marshall's prank antics.


Soccer Balls
1/5

We get it, Cristian. Ball is life. But this hurts my back just looking at it.


Bath
4/5... then 1/5 real quick

This is as good as it gets for the 25 minutes (assuming it isn't an ice bath, obviously). Don't stay too long, though, or else Stefan Frei may tweet a pic of you on #WrinkleWednesday. The rubber duckies are a nice touch.


Training Bed
5/5

It's literally a bed.


Equipment Cart
0/5

Everything about this looks awful. Then again, I can't sleep on airplanes.


Net
5/5

We're glad you love the back of the net, Cristian. Especially when you're awake.
