How much sleep do you need to stay in a good balance?  

"I have always been tired in the evening and waking up early in the morning. When I am home, I follow pretty fixed sleep routines, and I usually go to bed around 10 p.m. In the winter, I may be in bed as early as 9 in the evening. I sleep about 7.5 hours in the summer and one hour longer in the winter, but I actually wouldn't mind sleeping even more. I love to sleep!"

What do you need for a good night’s sleep?

"In the evening I need to rewind before I go to bed. I put away both my phone and computer. It is important for me to have fresh air in the bedroom, and I like to have a warm blanket over my duvet."

Do you have a favourite sleeping position?  

"I prefer to sleep on my back."

Rannveig Aamodt is a professional climber and a sleep ambassador for Wonderland. She grew up in Romsdalen in Norway, and is now living in Colorado, USA where she also works as a photographer.

"A good night’s sets the foundation for everything. If I sleep too little for longer periods, the quality of my training decreases. I easily get tired, lose focus and I feel that my body does not recover as well from previous training."

Better sleep quality

"For many years I thought it was the climbling that made my arms uncomfortable and numb when sleeping. Now I have learnt how important it is with a good bed and pillow, to get better circulation and less pressure on your shoulders."

Everyday challenges

"We all have busy daily lives where we try to find a balance between work, family and leisure. With a good night’s sleep, it is easier to deal with everyday challenges. We get more energized, better patience and life gets less stressful."
