Did you know, nearly 40% of athletes report insufficient sleep, meaning fewer than seven hours a night?! đ´
We know that between seven and nine hours of quality sleep a night is ideal for MANY reasons, but not everyone can achieve this đ
Some people regard napping as a sign of laziness, but listening to your bodyâs cue for this and responding could offer many benefits if youâre not getting your zzzâs at night!
Power of naps:
⢠Improved cognitive function
⢠Reduction of cortisol
⢠Enhanced moodÂ
⢠Better memory
⢠Improved performance
Napping has also been linked to reduced risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure and better overall cardiovascular healthâ¤ď¸
Just 10 - 20 minutes can boost your alertness and energy without leading to sleep inertia.
Try setting your phone timer and seeing how a power nap can improve your day if youâre not getting enough night-time sleep.

đThe humble oat is a powerhouse of nutritional health, hereâs why we recommend it within our clientsâ nutritional programming:
âĄď¸Oats have a low glycemic index (GI), which means they raise blood sugar levels slowly compared to high-GI foods.
This slower digestion process helps maintain more stable blood glucose levels for consistent energy levels throughout the day meaning you will have fewer energy crashes throughout the day.
The presence of beta-glucan in oats plays a significant role in this as it forms a gel-like substance in the gut that slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
âĄď¸Protein-rich oats are great for muscle recovery. Youâll find them easy to add into food you can eat on the go, making them great for a post-workout snack.
âĄď¸They are nutrient dense. They may look simple and ordinary, but oats are packed with essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium, iron and B-vitamins.
âĄď¸Full of fibre, oats can help lower cholesterol, support heart health and promote healthy digestion for a happy gut too!
There are so many ways you can incorporate oats into your diet.
Our nutrition and training service can help you eat better to boost your overall health and help reach fitness goals.
