Norwegian international Erling Haaland, the English Manchester City striker, revealed that he sleeps with his mouth closed as part of an intense night regimen aimed at maintaining his excellent level with his team that won a historic treble last season. Haaland follows an unusual routine in the evening, which includes tying his mouth and wearing blue light-blocking glasses for three hours before going to sleep.
The 23-year-old spoke about his nighttime habits in an interview with YouTuber Logan Paul on his podcast, and said, “I think sleep is the most important thing in the world. I think good sleep, simple things like blue glasses, and blocking all signals in The bedroom is really important.”
“You should try taping your mouth. I sleep with it. Doing a lot of things is not good, but doing small things every day for a longer period of time really pays off,” he continued.
Haaland said the reason for tying his mouth is to increase breathing through the nostrils, while exposure to blue light sources, such as electronic devices, can affect sleep.
The Norwegian star’s sleeping ritual is clearly a success as he scored 52 goals in various competitions in his first season with Manchester City, helping the club win the Champions League, Premier League and domestic cup. He also set a single-season record by scoring 36 goals in the Premier League last season. Haaland previously revealed his diet, which relies on eating cow heart and liver, in addition to a drink made from milk, kale, and spinach, helped him on the path to success.
