Professor Nick Littlehales, a sleep expert, recently surprised many by revealing one of the secrets behind Cristiano Ronaldo's remarkable physical fitness over the past decade. According to him, the Portuguese striker followed his advice from his time at Real Madrid: to divide his daytime sleep, like meals, into five 90-minute naps.
To optimize this method, C. Ronaldo also turns off his phone and avoids watching TV or looking at any screens for about an hour and a half before going to bed so that his mind can relax and fall asleep naturally. The 34-year-old striker also chooses the fetal sleeping position, similar to babies in the womb. The Juventus superstar diligently practices this every day, even during holidays.
"I was invited to Real Madrid when Carlo Ancelotti became the team's coach," expert Nick Littlehales recounted in the newspaper.Independent"I was standing on the sidelines talking to Madrid staff when Ronaldo ran past. He'd been training all day and you'd think he'd rush straight to the dressing room to shower, but no, Ronaldo stopped and asked what we were discussing. He was interested in my theory because he's the type of player who always invests in himself. What I learned from working with him is that Ronaldo doesn't care about dieting, he doesn't imitate others, he's only interested in whether it's good for himself or not."

Cristiano Ronaldo also has a scientific and strictly adhered diet. Every day, the 34-year-old striker eats six small meals, spaced approximately 3-4 hours apart, in moderate amounts. A personal nutritionist has been closely monitoring the diet of the father of four since joining Real Madrid. Ronaldo consumes whole grains, fresh fruit, and white meat from fish, avoiding frozen foods, red meat, and alcoholic beverages. Each meal of the Juventus striker includes plenty of vegetable salad. The Portuguese superstar's breakfast usually consists of cheese, cold cuts, low-fat yogurt, fruit, and buttered toast. Ronaldo considers chicken one of the most miraculous foods, being rich in protein and low in fat.
