Rest and recovery is hugely important for us all, especially highly motivated and driven people.  In this bitesized episode, I chat with Nick Littlehales, a Sleep Coach to many elite sports performers.  Nick and I discuss sleep trackers and the upside to using them.  He also talks about orthosomnia, which describes individuals who become overly concerned or obsessed with tracking their sleep, resulting in heightened anxiety towards their sleeping patterns. Key Learning Points: Orthosomnia refers to a situation where people rely heavily on sleep tracking technology and aim to achieve perfect sleep. This can lead to stress and anxiety, similar to the athlete who tracks too complex or unhelpful data when they perform. Maintaining a balanced approach to sleep tracking is essential.

If you're Mentally Tough you don't need to sleep you can simply push through… Wrong! The mentally tough person, as research suggests is more likely to deal with fatigue better than a mentally sensitive person however they do need to sleep. Being committed to your goals, making sacrifices, taking challenges head on and dealing with pressure requires a clear head, focus and perspective, as well as adequate rest and recovery.   In this episode, I chat with Nick Littlehales, a well respected Sleep Coach to many elite sports performers.  Nick goes on to share more on the topic of sleep, where he tells you about his experiences supporting Manchester United and Arsenal football clubs, as well as the England National Team.  We also touch on other sports and the intricacies that need to be considered when you think of sleep and recovery.  Key Learning Points: At Manchester United I was with the club and exploring myths and misunderstandings about sleep, where I looked to redefine their approach to recovery. Understanding your sleep chronotype is important. Focusing on circadian rhythms can be beneficial. Tracking and collecting data can be helpful but it can also cause anxiety and added stress. Napping is very helpful to remain fresh and focused, aiding your decision making and recovery. Consider your environment and think about light, dark and temperature exposure can improve your sleep quality. A message for parents, make sure your kids spend some time outside, away from the tech to improve their sleep quality.

These are centers of energy that circulate into your physical body and also extend outward through your vibrational field. There are 7 main chakras that each charge an area of the body. When a chakra operates smoothly, its related physical functions work well. But if a chakra becomes distorted, compressed or misaligned due to various stresses, negative symptoms can develop in the body, emotions and thought patterns. In this episode we'll dive deeper into the chakras so that you can feel them, adjust them and learn from them.

When it comes to quality sleep, you may say, I know! Sleeping eight hours a night is enough. But you know what? The eight hours of sleep theory has not been scientifically proven, and if you are constantly obsessing over getting a full eight hours of sleep every night, you might end up more stressed about not sleeping enough on the days you are too busy. So why is eight-hour sleep time illogical? According to this book, sleep is different from one person to another, and it is not necessary to focus on the length of sleep but to view sleep as a process of restoring the body and mind 24 hours a day, seven days a week. How can we achieve this? We will elaborate it later. This book provides us with a program to improve the quality of sleep, which will overturn the traditional 8-hour sleep theory and help us adjust our sleep in all aspects, starting from the R90 sleep cycle. You will learn to monitor your sleep quality by days, weeks, and months, reducing unnecessary anxieties and enabling you to get quality sleep even in stressful situations.

Welcome to the #RunPainFree Podcast! In today's episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio speaks with leading elite sport sleep coach Nick Littlehales. It sounds like a unique professional title, well, that's because he invented it!  Nick's career spans over 20 years. He has been a true innovator in bridging the divide between sleep science and creating actionable steps that athletes can implement to improve their rest and recovery. He is also the author of the international bestselling book "Sleep: The Myth of 8 hours, the Power of Naps, and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind." In this episode, he shares his knowledge and techniques underpinning his R90 Technique to increase your rest and performance. If you have been basing your recovery on the adage of getting eight hours every night, this episode is going to give you something to sleep on.  Step 1: Circadian rhythms  The first thing you need to do to improve your sleep is developing your understanding of circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. Like animals and plants, we humans (yes, it turns out we are animals after all!) also respond to changes in daylight.  Our melatonin increases in darkness and is suppressed in daylight, whereas serotonin rises during the daytime. Melatonin is most known for its role as a sleep hormone, and serotonin is the "feel good" hormone.  So, in the world of COVID lockdowns, make sure you get outdoors every day; it will do more for you than slamming another coffee. In the evening, getting off your phone and computer and avoiding blue light will help you sleep.  Step 2: Chronotypes.  Chronotypes relate to your natural inclination to sleep at a particular time. Optimizing your approach to sleep relates to understanding your chronotype. So, the question is, are you an early bird or a night owl?  While you can't deliberately change your chronotype, it is good to be aware of your pattern and know that it shifts over your lifetime. That's why that lazy teenager who can't get out of bed in the morning ends up waking up at the crack of dawn in their 80s. If you want to achieve prime performance, base your sleep on your body's natural rhythm.  Step 3: Think about sleep in cycles rather than hours. Alert! This information is the golden nugget of Nick's R90 Technique.  Start thinking about your sleep in terms of the number of cycles throughout the week instead of just getting eight hours a night. If you don't achieve optimum sleep one night, that okay; like one day rolls into the other, you too can move your recovery into the next.  The eight hours a night idea is an outcome of the modern world. Before that, humans slept several times throughout 24 hours or were polyphasic sleepers rather than monophasic.  On any day, you want to aim to hit five 90 minute cycles. Your sleep cycle includes: dosing off, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM – you need all of these to gain the restorative powers of sleep.  How you split that up can be determined by you. If you are someone who crashes mid-afternoon, take that nap, it all counts. Nick's book highlights that naps are magical for your wellbeing. But the key is to hit 90 minutes, as this completes an entire sleep cycle.  Step 4: Pre and post-sleep routines. To aid your ability to dose off into neverland and hit the day running, Nick emphasizes the importance of pre and post-sleep routines. You are developing a standard time to go to bed, and waking up will help in this regard. But don't beat yourself up if you have a sleep-in after a long week; you're human after all.  Pre-sleep routines may include: Getting off your phone. Lowering the temperature in your bedroom. Dimming the lights. Writing down your to-do list for the next day. Post-sleep routines can include: avoiding technology, aka don't look at your phone first thing and freak out over a work email because your cortisol levels are already high enough in the morning. Instead, do some light exercise and a brief mental challenge such as reading the news, sudoku, or a podcast.   Step 5: Balanced activity and recovery. Recovery doesn't just mean you should be sleeping or doing nothing. Throughout the day, you will have periods of intense physical and mental activity. So it is important to incorporate rest throughout the day. As Nick highlights, it's a simple as, 'pointing your brain in a different direction, and visualizing something different." Nick discusses how looking at the horizon on the sea can be restorative. But if you don't have that option available, getting up from your computer and gazing out your window will also do the trick.  Step 6: Environment. Improving your sleep environment is far more helpful than tracking your hours of sleep. Ideally, you want to create your bedroom in a way that is only associated with rest. Okay, we know what you are thinking; there are exceptions; you are human after all. Aim to minimize bright lights and leave your phone outside your bedroom.  Step 7: Products. People trying to improve their sleep quality typically reach for a product; Whether it be a new mattress, eye masks, a sleep tracker, white noise machines, or blue lights. Nick deliberately puts products in the final position in his R90 Technique; while helpful, they have the most negligible impact overall. If you are in the market of replacing your mattress, Nick says the key is to have a bed that adequately supports your neck, hips, and spine while sleeping in the fetal position. His website has further information on selecting a suitable mattress.  Take away lesson. Sleep should be considered an intrinsic part of the way you approach running. Running is intensive, and as you ramp up miles, you also need to ramp up your recovery. Performance gains won't just occur as a result of pushing harder during your training. A massive chunk of your performance relates to the way you approach to sleep and recovery. Particularly for our marathoners, if you have done a long run on the weekend, factor in having a nap afterward; you've earned it.  TIMESTAMPS 00:32 ­– Introduction and biography 02:37 ­– Nick's unlikely career journey  16:09 – How Nick developed the R90 sleep technique 19:17 – Five 90 minute cycles vs. 8 hours sleep per day 22:21 – Circadian rhythms and chronotypes 25:34 – Shortcomings of sleep products  KEY LEARNING POINTS Aim to achieve five 90 minute cycles a day instead of 8 hours per night Napping has a powerful effect on your recovery, memory, performance, and overall mood Develop pre and post-sleep routines Optimize your sleeping environment by eliminating bright light LINKS MENTIONED Marathon Training Summit: MarathonTrainingSummit.com Get an Assessment With Jessica: https://www.runpainfreenow.com.

This week I'm introducing you to part 1 of a 2-part episode on Sleep. You get to listen in on my conversation with world renowned Sport Sleep Coach, Nick Littlehales. Nick has developed the R90 Technique that has been proven time and time again to improve sleep for elite level athletes. This is outlined in great detail in his book Sleep The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps, and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind. He has quite the resume when it comes to working with elite athletes and coaches. Among those that he has consulted includes, Team Sky, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, New Zealand's Olympic Rowing Squad, and various coaches within the NBA, NFL, and MLB. This week we talk about Nick's role in being apart of revolutionizing the British Cycling team's sleeping habit, explain what sleep really is and debunk the myth of 8 hours a night.

In this week's podcast I have an announcement about the future of this podcast, so please listen carefully to the introduction. I also reached deep into the archives to find one of my very first podcasts with sleep expert Nick Littlehales. This was recorded in August 2016 but the content is still very relevant.  As you will know by now, I am a big promoter of those aspects of life which contribute to recovery and regeneration after training and I’m not the only one who thinks that sleep is an under-rated tool for high performance. This is a very short, but information packed conversation in which we cover: How thinking in terms of sleep cycles in a 7 day period can help you get better sleep Why alcohol may help you drop off to sleep, but your sleep quality will suffer Circadian rhythms and why being in tune with this will help you get better sleep Why we should all plan our sleep requirements in the same way as we plan our training Pre and post sleep modes and why this will have a positive impact on sleep performance How to manipulate sleep cycles over 7 days and accommodate late evening training What is a better investment in your sleep than investing in a new mattress?  You can find out more about Nick at www.SportSleepCoach.com, or you can check out Nick’s book, “Sleep, the Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps .  . and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind”.

In this episode we talk all about sleep including: How sleep is one of the first things we sacrifice in our hectic lives and how it's not just the quantity, but the quality of our sleep that we're compromising. We talk about the 4 stages of sleep and what's going on in each of them. Then we talk about how sleep cycles work as well as our circadian rhythms.  We talk about melatonin and the way it gets disrupted by all the artificial lights we're exposed to on a constant and relentless basis. And then we move into how we can actually improve our sleep and for references I use The Primal Blueprint, by Mark Sisson, and Sleep: The Myth of 8 Hours, The Power of Naps, and The New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind, By Nick Littlehales. We talk about the 90 minute cycle as well as the cycles per week approach to sleep. This includes altering our bedtimes to align with waking at the end of a cycle. We talk about naps, or Controlled Recovery Periods (CRP's) as Littlehales calls them. Next, we talk about a few other things that greatly impact your sleep quality: cell phones, your bedroom, your sleeping position, and your constant wake time. And in our call to action we put all this newly gained knowledge to work and we improve our sleep.  I close the podcast with a list of side effects from poor sleep quality and quality to really convince you that improving your sleep is a worthy task.  Thanks for listening.

In the month of March, for 21 days, I was dedicated to sleeping at least 7 hours a night. In this episode, I share my reflection on the experience and how I've been able to keep up with these challenges.    Book discussed: Sleep: The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps, and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind (https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Myth-Hours-Power-Recharge-ebook/dp/B073P4BW6B)       Enjoy!

People often find that when they give up alcohol, their sleep improves. They get more sleep or more restful sleep than they got while they were drinking. However, there’s always room for improvement. If you’re still not feeling rested or you struggle with getting as much sleep as you think you should, you may need to optimize your sleeping habits. Today’s guest knows a lot about sleep, and some of it might surprise you.  Nick Littlehales is a sports sleep coach and the author of the book Sleep: The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps... and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind. Nick didn’t set out to be a sleep coach. He originally wanted to be a professional sportsman, and did spend some time working as a golf pro at a club. However, eventually, he got married and started a new career in furniture sales. Nick spent his time traveling and selling beds to retailers. As he rose through the ranks in his career, he had the opportunity to visit a number of different countries and learn about the different ways people sleep. In today’s interview, Nick explains how he made the jump from selling beds to providing sleep coaching services for Manchester United.  “Sleep is all about the sun going around the planet. It’s all about patterns, rhythms, and harmony.”  Nick explains how he helped the players he worked with improve their sleep with sleep kits. He would go so far as to replace items in hotels where the players were staying if the hotel’s bedding wasn’t suitable for the needs of the players he worked with. And his methods worked. Players were able to recover and heal more effectively from injuries because they were getting more and better sleep.  Nick also explains that sleep is about patterns and rhythms. He says that it’s important to have routines, and to wake and sleep at the same time every day. Sleep itself can be broken down into 90-minute cycles. Nick explains that not everyone should get up or sleep at the same type of day. Different people have different chronotypes – times of the day when they most need sleep or need to be awake. Some people really do benefit from getting up later in the day, while other people are at their best when they wake up early. What’s more, he says, not all of your sleep cycles have to happen in one long eight-hour block.  Nick also points out that uninterrupted sleep all night long is a relatively recent innovation anyway. Until the invention of electric lights, it was common for people to sleep in shorter shifts with periods of wakefulness in-between. He contends that sleeping for eight hours at a stretch is unnatural, and that’s why so many people find it difficult to do.  Getting better, more restful sleep is an important factor in improving your health and quality of life, just like changing your relationship with alcohol. Tune in to this episode to hear Nick’s story and to learn more about how you can optimize your own sleep.  LINKS & RESOURCES:  OYNB Website: https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/  OYNB Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Oneyearnobeer/ OYNB Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/199505820380513/ OYNB Twitter: https://twitter.com/oynbuk/ OYNB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneyearnobeer/   NICK LITTLEHALES’ LINKS: Nick’s Website: https://www.sportsleepcoach.com/ Nick’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Myth-Hours-Power-Recharge-ebook/dp/B01ISFAU1W
