Do their testosterone levels recover after going back to a normal sleep schedule?

I think the answer is mostly there in the fact they start the season at 88%. However, I'm sure there are cumulative effects on athletes who play for multiple seasons

LOL, of course levels recover with some longitudinally decaying residual.
