#17 Nick Littlehales - Improve your sleep

In day's episode of the Mind Set Game podcast, I sat down with Nick Littlehales. Nick is regarded as the leading elite sports sleep coach in world sport. A leading industry expert with over 30 years experience in the world of sleep, sleeping habits, and product design and over 15 years dedicated to elite athletes and professional sport.

In this episode, Nick and I discussed such topics as why is there a myth that we require 8hrssleep? Have hotter countries got it right by having siestas? How to get Five 90 mins (approx. 7h30hrs) sleep cycles? How do you structure in sleep (a power nap)? Why is sleeping on the floor better than having a good mattress to improve your sleep? Recovery can be reduced by up 50% by sleeping in an unfamiliar environment. Techniques to take the pressure off from worrying about getting to sleep. Coping with Jet Lag as well as measures you can take to make a home away from home.
Is changing your mattress every 8 years a bit of a myth? And finally the difference between AMers/PMers. 

He is also the author of Sleep: Redefine Your Rest, for Success in Work, Sport and life. (US), (UK), (Canada) and (France).
