The Winter Olympics are over, but the discussions about the Winter Olympics continue. And this time in the Winter Olympics, the topic of "sleep" has been on the hot search many times, such as the "smart bed" in the Winter Olympic Village; and Gao Tingyu said after winning the gold with the record-breaking results of the Winter Olympics, "I recently had insomnia, I can only sleep eight or nine hours a day"; considering that many friends who do not insomnia can only sleep 7 to 8 hours a day, Gao Tingyu can sleep for eight or nine hours a day, it can be said that this has reached the ceiling of Versailles!
Of course, in the Winter Olympics, the story about sleep is naturally indispensable to the first traffic star Gu Ailing. After getting the personal first gold, the story about Gu Ailing sleeping for 10 hours a day was exposed, and Bai Yansong, a famous media person on CCTV, publicly called on parents to learn from Gu Ailing's mother and let their children sleep for ten hours! After getting the second personal gold, Gu Ailing also revealed at the press conference how he could have a good night's sleep.
In addition, among the top athletes in other sports, there is no shortage of people who can sleep. In the NBA, Curry sleeps at least 9 hours a day; James sleeps at least 8 hours a day, and when the schedule is not so dense, Jan sr. will even sleep to 10-12 hours... Tom Brady, a recently retired NFL legendary quarterback, sleeps at least 9 hours a day. Federer, the former overlord of the tennis court, has publicly stated: "If I don't sleep 11 to 12 hours a day, it's not right." If I didn't have that much sleep time, I would hurt myself. Bolt, the king of 100 meters and 200 meters, in an interview at his peak, also publicly stated that he slept 10 hours a day to ensure that he was physically energetic.
In world football, there are also some superstars like "sleeping gods", such as Messi. His teammate Sabaleta, who has been playing side by side for many years since the national youth, has publicly stated that Messi's sleep quality is particularly good, and he can fall asleep after eating and sticking to a chair. And Veron, Aguero and others broke out about Messi's small problems, such as snoring, love to kick the quilt are related to sleep... There are two very different theories about C Luo's sleep, one is that no one can imitate the five times, each sleep for 90 minutes; the other is that C Luo does sleep 5 times a day, but 90 minutes is only the starting time, and his deep sleep at night is much longer than 90 minutes...
In Chinese football, there is also a benchmark like the god of sleep, that is, Zheng Zhi. Even if many media broke out, Zheng Zhi did not socialize, did not smoke or drink, went to bed before 10 o'clock, and described Zheng Zhi as a person without any private life, which was completely fabricated (Zheng Zhi also skewered, also ate hot pot, not dripping wine, but the body is good, self-control is very strong, and not everyone's invitation will be accepted); but from the feedback given by the national team, Zheng Zhi is indeed a player who sleeps more and has been secretly practicing, he calculates the morning sleep time every day, I was able to sleep up to 10 hours too! In the case of ensuring sleep and ensuring training, limited participation in socializing, it can also be said that Zheng Zhi's self-discipline is maintained by sleep! At present, the best local player Wu Lei, judging from the feedback given by the national team, has a lot of sleep time every day.
Of course, we can also find some counterexamples, such as Bryant, in his 81-point personal competitive season, often sleeping at 12 or 1 a.m. and getting up at 5 a.m. When Kobe Bryant took the Lakers 09 and 10 to win the championship, he slept about 6 hours a day. And the night before Chamberlain took 100 points, the night without sleep was a good story...
Everyone's physique determines that the amount of sleep required is different; but Stanford University once conducted an experiment in which researchers extended the sleep time of 11 Stanford male basketball players each night in a matter of weeks, with the goal of eventually getting them to sleep 10 hours a night. By the end of the trial, the players' sprinting speeds had become faster, with a 9 percent increase in free throw shooting and a 9.2 percent increase in three-point shooting. The American Baseball League MML has also conducted a survey on the sleep quality of athletes, and the results show that the higher the sleep quality of players, the longer the length of their careers tends to be, and conversely, the greater the probability of players being injured, they will quit the league early and start a life after retirement.
Through the results of the survey of Stanford University and MBL, it is not difficult to see that good sleep helps athletes stay in good shape! On the contrary, those who can always maintain a good state of sleep less, whether it is athletes or in the business world, are a very small minority after all; those who publicize the news that successful people do not sleep in order to desperately are basically used to "fool" Xiao Bai! When in the world of sports, there are too many top athletes lingering in vocal venues, and finally being hollowed out by wine, and the case of a sharp decline in status is not the same as the fact that they used to spend the time they should have spent sleeping on fun, resulting in a significant reduction in sleep time?
If Xiao Luo is a little self-disciplined, he can have higher achievements
Athletes generally experience high-intensity training every day, the greater the intensity means the greater the consumption; even now, whether at home or abroad, many professional sports teams have massage therapists and physiotherapists; some athletes will even hire physiotherapists to help recover; but masseurs and physiotherapists can only provide relaxation and recovery means, and the best recovery is related to diet, sleep, and rest. Therefore, even if we can't say that sleeping well, it must mean that the results are better; but after the need to bear high consumption every day, enough sleep allows the body to get better recovery, so that the exercise state can be better maintained, which is scientifically based!
Looking back at Chinese football, although there is an example like Zheng Zhi, you can also find some "alternative". In the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League, a Shenhua player had broadcast live until 3 a.m. before the match; but even so, it did not delay the player to score goals. And a player whose contract with Luneng expired this winter has also been broadcast live until 5 a.m. after a game...
When the players who live until 3 a.m., still go up and score goals... Should we boast about his ability? Or should we complain that he is not self-disciplined? And Chinese football once had many players who were highly anticipated by the outside world, but behind the case of "injuring Zhongyong", is it also related to this kind of undisciplined behavior?
