Interesting read on the BBC website suggesting that more and more athletes are looking at their sleep patterns as a way of improving their competitiveness.
Most will think little of spending a fortune on their clothing and footwear and even their mattress but little attention is paid to the actual sleep surface that their body comes into contact with. - their sheets and pillowcases!
This is becoming a very interesting topic and the spin-off for us is that our DermaTherapy sheets and pillowcases - popular in dealing with menopausal symptoms and also helping to reduce pressure sores are now being used to improve sleep profiles in athletes - especially cyclists.
Intensive training can cause the body to build up excessive heat, leading to a high core temperature and when the body attempts to offload this heat- at night, this can lead to night sweats and a bad night's sleep.
The www.dermatherapybedding.co.uk website explains how changing sheets can get rid of this problem. We've also introduced a "SleepSac" to allow people to take their DermaTherapy bedding with them on training camps or even to a sporting event to maintain the experience throughout the year.
When hundredths of a second could mean the difference between "First" and "First-last" do you not owe it to yourself to look at all aspects of your recovery programme?
