His piece in The Guardian titled ‘The man who showed Cristiano Ronaldo How To Sleep’ tells you everything you need to know about his level of expertise.

 

In today’s episode, we go through everything from the myth of needing 8 consecutive hours of sleep every night to how setting up your sleep environment can maximise recovery and energy throughout the day.

 

Nick’s book ‘Sleep’ is one of my all time favourite books and has helped me tremendously throughout the years.

 

If you struggle with sleep, want to learn how to maximise recovery and improve your performance or live an extremely busy lifestyle where quality sleep feels like a luxury, then this is a must listen!
