A West Ham United footballer was left too scared to sleep after listening to a true crime podcast, a sleep specialist has revealed.
Expert James Wilson appeared on BBC Breafkfast to explain the work he does with professional athletes. The expert, known as 'The Sleep Geek', has worked with men's and women's football teams to helo their players.
Top level football teams consistently look for ways to help their players' preparations on and off the pitch, with many helping improve stars' diets and looking at other elements of their lifestyle. Sleep comes into this category, and one Hammers star in particular required help for rather surprising reasons.
