Revealed unusual C. Ronaldo's sleep routine © zumapress

The eternal "Al Nassr" striker Cristiano Ronaldo is not only known for his iron discipline and unique diet.

As reported by "Record", the 39-year-old Portuguese has long been accustomed to a rarely used rest regimen.

As specialist Nick Littlehales explained, he was able to convince the football star of the benefits of frequent but short naps in the past.

During the day, the striker "in the position of a fetus" takes a nap at least 5-6 times for an hour and a half each and feels particularly alert.

Usually this happens after the player has eaten, swam in the pool, and later he is able to "switch off" briefly before midnight and in the period until three o'clock in the morning.

"This is not just an ordinary nap of elderly people in front of the TV.

This method helps to sleep less but to recover faster. Many athletes I have worked with in the past have complained of insomnia, stress, and other common things for athletes," - clarified N. Littlehales.
