Sleep
The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps, and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind
About the book
Sport sleep coach Nick Littlehales argues that the old rule of eight hours a night does not work and offers a different plan for rest. His clients have included cyclists with Team Sky and British Cycling, NBA and NFL players, Paralympic and Olympic athletes and international soccer sides, and he adapts those strategies for general readers. His premise is that about a third of life, some 3,000 hours a year, goes to trying to sleep, and that this time shapes mood, motivation, alertness, decisions, reaction time and creativity. The program covers mapping a personal sleep cycle, setting up surroundings for recovery and coping with a fast, tech-driven world.
Bookster CEO Iulia Ghita, who says she is not a morning person, credited it with helping her stop sleeping until noon on weekends through two rules: wake at the same hour every day and sleep in 90-minute cycles.

Iulia Ghita (CEO/Bookster)
I’m not a morning person and all my life I’ve struggled with waking up early Monday to Friday, and sleeping until noon during the weekends and then waking up with my head in a whirl. The book that really helped me overcome this bad habit was Sleep by Nick Littlehales. It has two simple rules: wake up every day at the same hour and sleep in 90 minutes cycles. I’m still not a morning person and never will I be, but these simple habits helped me sleep less, but rest more.
