      Cristiano Ronaldo naps five times a day and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s snoozes for four… how much sports stars sleep

      by

      BEING one of the most well known sporting icons on the planet is tiring work.
      But rather than sleep all night, Cristiano Ronaldo instead takes FIVE naps a day while Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson snoozes for just four hours to keep himself going.

      Cristiano Ronaldo takes FIVE naps-a-day

      Earlier this month, it emerged Juventus superstar Ronaldo, 35, grabs 40 winks five times each day and sleeps in the foetal position.
      And here SunSport can reveal the different sleep patterns of several other sporting icons from across the globe and how many hours of ‘Zzz’ time they get, according to Online Mattress Review.
      Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – 4 hours

      The WWE icon turned movie star hits the sack for just four hours-a-night.
      At 48, Hawaiian born Johnson clocks off between midnight and is up and about again at 4am.

      Presumably to work out at least 25 times a day to maintain his impressive physique.
      Muhammad Ali – 6.5 hours

      Muhammad Ali was a religious man and slept for 6.5 hours after dinner and prayers

      The greatest boxer of all time put many opponents to sleep in his time and would wind down between 10pm and 4:30am.
      As a devout Muslim, much of his time would be split between prayer and training.
      And his evening routine would include a walk after dinner, a quick wash, prayers and short stint in front of the TV before he dozed off.

      Serena Williams – 7 hours

      Serena Williams clocks up a solid seven hours of sleep after socialising and work
      You do not need hawk eye to tell when Serena is out for the count but we can neither confirm or deny whether her snoring makes a racket.
      The tennis sensation takes a solid seven hour sleep between midnight and 7am each day after a post-dinner routine of socialising and work.
      The 38-year-old former world number one is also a mum of a young daughter so her slumbers are no doubt interrupted by the littl’un every now and then.

      Cristiano Ronaldo – 7.5 hours

      Ronaldo sleeps in the fetal position to stay in top shape aged 35

      Ronaldo has perhaps the oddest routine of all the big stars.
      Rather than one lump of rest at the end of each day like most of us, Ronnie reportedly prefers to take short naps of an hour-and-a-half each time throughout the day.
      After dinner, he relaxes with his friends before a swim at 10pm.
      He then takes one of his signature naps until midnight and relaxes until another short burst of sleep from around 3am before waking up for the day.
      Ronda Rousey – 8 hours

      MMA star Rousey does not mess around when it comes to getting the right amount of rest

      MMA and WWE star Rousey’s routine seems pretty standard.
      Eight hours between midnight and 8am.
      Nice and simple.
      Tiger Woods – 8.5 hours

      Tiger Woods – perhaps the greatest golfer in history – spends more than a third of his day asleep

      Woods is generally considered the best golfer of all time.
      And to maintain such high levels, the superstar spends eight and a half hours dreaming of sinking putts and splitting fairways.
      He snoozes from 10pm to 6:30am – proving the early birdie really does catch the worm.
      Tom Brady – 9 hours

      Tom Brady is widely considered the best quarter-back ever to play American Football and he does not compromise when it comes to rest

      Like Woods, Brady is considered the greatest ever in his field.
      The former New England Patriots quarter-back is revered in across the world for his sustained and unrivalled talent.
      And the 42-year-old – who is still playing for the Tampa Bay Bucacaneers – makes sure he touches down to sleep for nine hours each day between 8:30pm and 5:30am.

      Stephen Curry – 9 hours

      NBA star Stephen Curry is one of the longest sleepers on the list with a solid nine hours

      Basketball star Stephen Curry is another record breaker who is set to go down in the NBA history books.
      The Golden State Warriors point guard is another who does not take rest lightly – opting to hit the hay for nine hours between 11pm and 8am every day.

      WWE legend Big Show taunted Floyd Mayweather’s punching power despite having nose broken by boxer

      by

      WWE star Big Show taunted Floyd Mayweather after the boxing legend broke his nose.
      The pair crossed paths in an incredible crossover bout in 2008 at WWE No Way Out.

      Floyd Mayweather flattened the WWE superstar with a huge left hook

      Big Show, who stands at a staggering 7ft tall, ended up worse for wear after the match but insisted he’d had his nose broken by less, according to WWE legend Chris Jericho.
      Jericho lifted the lid on the tale as he revealed he is open to boxing Mike Tyson.
      Speaking on his Talk is Jericho podcast, the 50-year-old said: “You can hit me and I’m fine.
      “I’ll be fine, and I remember when Big Show had that with Floyd Mayweather.

      “He told me Mayweather hit him and Mayweather broke his nose. And Show was like, ‘I’ve had my nose broken by less.'”
      After the shocking incident that left fans stunned, the Big Show revealed he asked for boxing legend Mayweather to do exactly that.
      He said: “I told Floyd to break my nose. If he didn’t do something huge that night, our angle was dead in the water
      “It’s just the size disparity, I was trying to do something different than a normal wrestling angle, so this is an opportunity with a trained professional, who I trusted, and is one of the greatest fighters who ever boxed (to do something special).

      “I’d spent a whole year messing around the ring boxing, so I knew he knew how to break my nose without shoving it through the back of my head. It was a left hook, it was awesome.
      “There’s a way he could have broken my nose that would have sprayed it all over my face, I mean, I can do that.
      “I can hit someone in the nose and spread it all over their face – Floyd did it and it was fine.”

      Wayne Rooney’s infamous slap of Wade Barrett during WWE appearance stemmed from row over striker ‘diving’ for Man Utd

      by

      WADE BARRETT revealed Wayne Rooney’s infamous slap on him during a WWE appearance in 2015 stemmed from a row on Twitter.
      Barrett, a passionate Preston fan, was gutted after the ex-England captain scored an 88th minute penalty for Manchester United against his club.

      The former ‘Nexus’ leader then took to Twitter to call the England forward a diver for how he won the penalty.
      Rooney, whose kids are big wrestling fans, then challenged Barrett to a WrestelMania match – which never materialised.
      Instead, when the WWE came to the UK, the Premier League legend was involved in a scripted scrap as he slapped Barrett across the face.
      Lifting the lid on the story, Barrett told Metro: “At this point, I’m heartbroken.

      “I immediately in my anger, tweet Wayne Rooney accusing him of diving, threatening to give him a Bullhammer’.
      “Then I put my phone down, I move on, calm down, forget about it.
      “He ends up replying, this goes into a kinda jokey back and forth where we’re going to have a WrestleMania match, but then obviously it all dies away and nothing happens.
      “I start suggesting to the guys in the management team. He wanted to come backstage with his kid, and meet Triple H and a few others.

      “They brought me into the room too, we had a quick chat and suggested this idea to him. He was down for it, his kid was really excited about it.
      “We did what we did – had a little jaw-jack, I talked a little smack like I tend to do, and he slapped me!
      “That was it, it was a lot of fun.”

      Adebayo Akinfenwa, 38, holds talks with WWE over stunning switch into Vince McMahon’s wrestling promotion

      by

      WYCOMBE striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has revealed he’s in talks with Vince McMahon over a shock career move to WWE.
      The 38-year-old frontman is the strongest player in the world according to Fifa 21 ratings.

      Wycombe striker Akinfenwa is in talks with the WWE over a move to wrestlingCredit: News Group Newspapers Ltd

      So a move to the world of professional wrestling seems a pretty logical career change for the man known as ‘The Beast’.

      Akinfenwa first spoke of his dream of going into WWE in April last year.
      A meeting with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and his children’s love of the sport lit a fire inside the former Wimbledon star.

      And now he says swapping penalties for piledrivers remains a very real possibility.
      Akinfenwa – who recently slammed the FA for clearing a Fleetwood staff member who allegedly labelled him a ‘fat water buffalo’ – told talkSPORT: “I’ve had a couple of calls recently in regards to that [going into wrestling].
      “I’ll be following up on that soon – so it could go up or down depending on the outcome of that.
      “I can’t tell you a direct percentage in terms of that [coming to fruition], but it’s something I’m really passionate about, so watch this space, people.”

      Should it work out, Akinfenwa revealed which pro footballers he would most like to take on.
      He said: “In terms of a Royal Rumble that’s something I’d want to win obviously – and there’s some tough lads out there, you know.

      “VVD [Virgil van Dijk] is in there all day long and [Adama] Traore of course. [Sebastian] Haller has to be in too, he’s a very strong guy, then there’s the likes of Troy Deeney and [Michael] Antonio.
      “Whoever I haven’t mentioned they can get at me later, but I back myself 100 per cent!”
      Akinfenwa, who has played for 14 clubs in his pro career since 2001 after starting out with Watford, reckons his current nickname would work well as his wrestling stage name.
      And he thinks his finisher could be called the ‘Beast Slam’.
      What is certain is he would definitely go in as one of the heavyweights.
      Akinfenwa weighs around 100kg (15st 7lbs) and is rumoured to be able to bench press 200kg.

      Watch moment Tyson Fury enlists BAGPIPE PLAYER to help find WWE rival Drew McIntyre after ‘looking all over Edinburgh’

      by

      THIS is the hilarious moment Tyson Fury enlists a BAGPIPE PLAYER to help him track down WWE rival Drew McIntyre.
      World heavyweight boxing champion Fury has been angling for a bout with WWE title holder McIntyre after making his debut with the organisation last October in a victory over Braun Strowman.

      And he went all the way to the wrestler’s home city of Edinburgh in a bid to get a deal done.
      However, Fury searched high and low but could not find his foe.
      And the self-styled Gypsy King then took to Twitter with a message for McIntyre – accompanied by a bagpipe player in full kilt and Scottish regalia.
      Fury boomed: “I’m here, this is a challenge video to Drew McIntyre from the Gypsy King.

      “He’s here in Edinburgh, I’ve been looking all over for you Drew.
      “Where are you Drew? I’ve been looking all over, all day, and I can’t see you.
      “You’re hiding from me Drew, hiding. Come out and fight like a proper man, like a Highland man.
      “Here I am, in your own city, and you’re nowhere to be seen.

      Fury certainly looked to be in good spirits in the Scottish capital after he was sent crashing to the canvas by half-brother and Love Island star Tommy Fury during a staged sparring session.
      But even though he fancies building on his WWE debut at Saudi Arabia’s Jewel In The Crown, Fury must first focus on a trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder.
      Fury is also looking to unify the heavyweight division with an all-British bout against rival Anthony Joshua.
