Athletes will look for anything to give them an edge in competition, from their training and preparation to their rest, recovery and fuelling.
So much attention is given to how they can make the marginal gains that make a big difference when it counts, but there’s a simple solution staring a lot of us right in the face. And it’s on our bedside table.
“The smartphone in the bedroom is the single largest population-scale anxiety driver we've ever seen,” says Dr Allie Hare, President of the British Sleep Society.
Up to 70% of struggling sleep is rooted in smartphone use. People carry phones to bed and the anxiety stays in the room with them. Zebble removes the device while preserving emergency reachability.
Mental and physical health share the same engine: deep sleep. When phone-free sleep is restored, the body's repair systems come back online - cortisol falls, cardiovascular risk drops, REM clears the brain's overnight waste.
Cortisol spikes from phone use stop the body feeling safe to go into REM sleep. Lowering the levels of cortisol in our bodies has a huge knock-on effect to how impactful our sleep is, directly leading to improved heart health, deeper sleep and, as a result, sharper recovery.
It’s one thing performing on matchday, but sustained success is built on meaningful recovery.
Zebble is a beautifully simple bedside pebble designed to help you switch off from your phone while still staying reachable by the people who matter most. It can also be used as your alarm and provides access to sleep sounds, breathwork, and expert guidance from some of the world’s leading doctors in sleep and wellbeing.
Zebble users are able to stay contactable in an emergency and keep to their wake-up routines, without the need for their phone to be in the room with them overnight.
No phone in sight, but still reachable. That leads to better sleep.
