The truth is, you’re probably not sleeping correctly. Yes, you’ve slept every day of your life, but that doesn’t make you an expert, I’m afraid. If it’s any consolation, though, many professional athletes aren’t sleeping properly either. The good news is: there are experts out there.
Enter Greg Meehan, who advises athletes not only on sleep but also breath work and mental performance. These strands are threads on which more and more sportspeople are pulling, seeking marginal gains at the elite level. Meehan has worked with pro boxers, golfers and Premier League footballers – among others – and the east Londoner’s latest move is his book: Sleep For Athletes.
