Some celebrities are living it. For example, former US President Barack Obama. He only sleeps six hours at night. It is said that his wife Michelle climbs out of bed at 4:30 a.m. The singer and actor Mark Wahlberg starts his day at 2.30 a.m. And Donald Trump is said to sleep a maximum of three hours at a time. But the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is taking it to the extreme. It is reported that he only sleeps 90 minutes at a time – a total of six times a day.
In our society, those who need so little rest are still considered to be particularly productive. A way of thinking that is also widespread among athletes. That’s why we dealt with the question in the new episode of the podcast “She’s running. He’s running”: How important is sleep? So much can be revealed in advance: Science sees this very clearly. We know from runners that even a night in which you sleep poorly or too little has a significantly negative impact on mileage. According to the thesis of numerous scientists, good sleep is at least as important as regular exercise.
Sleep is luxury – and we should treat ourselves to it
