PUERTO RICO: Manchester City's star striker Erling Haaland has unveiled a unique secret to his success - a combination of special glasses and an unconventional bedtime ritual. Haaland, who recently secured sponsorship with KSI and Logan Paul's popular Prime drink, shared his insights on Paul's 'Impaulsive' podcast.
When asked about any tips or tricks in his trade, Haaland emphasized the paramount importance of a good night's sleep. He stated, "I think sleep is the most important thing in the world."
Erling Haaland's unconventional sleep routine
To optimize his sleep quality, the 23-year-old forward takes an unusual approach. "So to sleep good, simple kind of things like blue-blocking glasses, shutting out all the signals," he revealed.
Blue-blocking lenses, which are worn before bedtime, help reduce stress hormones and enhance the overall quality of sleep. Haaland shared that he puts on these lenses three hours before he goes to bed.
Furthermore, Haaland revealed another unusual but effective practice he follows to enhance his rest: he tapes his mouth shut. This technique, while unconventional, is utilized by some to encourage nasal breathing during sleep, potentially leading to better oxygen intake and improved sleep patterns.
During the podcast, KSI, one of the hosts, chimed in to share his own experience with mouth taping, explaining how it helps ensure that he breathes through his nose while asleep.
Haaland concluded, "I sleep with it," indicating his commitment to these sleep-enhancing strategies as part of his overall regimen for peak performance both on and off the field.

Haaland candidly replied, "Yeah, I watched a little bit when I was younger." KSI, delighted by the acknowledgment, chimed in with enthusiasm, saying, "I'm gassed."
