Third of Life: Thank you for reaching out to us. Why is the topic of sleep so important to you?
Derik: As a professional athlete, I rely on quick and targeted recovery for good performance, which is why I have paid attention to many factors in my life, from my training to my nutrition. But only a good night’s sleep brought the big turning point. That’s why I’m certain: Good sleep is the best way to recover.
Third of Life: You have been able to try some of the products from our range – what is your favorite and why?
Derik: Definitely the GIANFAR pillow. As a side sleeper, it supports my neck on one hand and on the other hand still offers me very comfortable support.
Third of Life: What is your number one sleep tip that you would give to your fans?
Derik: Turning off all electronic devices one hour before going to bed. I am very grateful for the conveniences that electronic devices offer us nowadays and I wouldn’t want to be without my smartphone. But let’s be honest: we shouldn’t let them control us. That’s why I put all electronic devices aside about 1 hour before bedtime and focus entirely on “winding down” for sleep. It’s a small but amazing habit that you should consciously incorporate as a routine into your daily life.
Third of Life: Thank you very much for the interesting conversation, Derik!
