The science of sleep and how to optimise it with Nick Littlehales

Sleep is increasingly being recognised as the cornerstone for our health. Yet 36% of adults struggle to get to sleep at least once a week and, almost 1 in 5 have trouble falling asleep every single night.  In today's podcast, I speak to sleep coach Nick Littlehales who has over 24 years experience dedicated to improving elite athletes sleep and performance.  We uncover the science behind sleep and how we can optimise it for performance and recovery.  Show Notes: Four Sigmatic’s mushroom coffee is real organic, Fair-Trade coffee, with Lion’s Mane mushroom for productivity, and Chaga mushroom for immune support.
