I like to get at least eight-and-a-half hours of sleep a night. I'm a pretty deep sleeper. I don't wake up during the night.
Sleep is extremely important, probably more important than any other recovery routines… I get everything done in those particular amount of hours that I’m looking for.
REM sleep is the most important one, between 1am and 4am, so I like to be in deep sleep by then. -- The Djoker.

I tried Novak Djokovic’s sleep programme to improve my general fitness – and it worked

It’s not just the Wimbledon elite who need more sleep – Britons today are in an epidemic of sleeplessness – here's how to get more of it

Very good tennis player but knows nothing about sleep. REM sleep is NOT "deep sleep" (stages 3 and 4 of sleep, which usually precede REM, are often called deep sleep), but rather REM has been called "paradoxical sleep" because the EEG tracing resembles an alert waking EEG and because there is more autonomic activation during REM. One would expect Novak to have lengthy sleep as that is usually the case with those who are extremely physically active during the day. No conclusions can be drawn about this being an especially healthy habit, and studies more often find 7 hours of sleep to better correlate with health and longevity.
 
The Djoker believes in Beauty Sleep and meditates during the day to quickly reset.
It is best that we all listen and learn from the GOAT.

“I don’t go too early to sleep but I also don’t go late, around midnight or something. I try to get those eight or nine hours of beauty sleep. I think that helps a lot with recovery, feeling good, feeling fresh.

“Do I get naps? I get, yeah, if you want to call them maybe short naps, maybe some meditation stuff that I do during the day that it’s just kind of a quick reset of energy, 10, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, depends how much I have. Sometimes it’s just five minutes breathing exercises or something that will just recharge me and allow me to have a bit more energy for the rest of the day.”

Sleep disturbance resulted in the breakup of the lovely Tomljanović with your favourite perennial underperforming Berrytinni.

The Netflix series Break Point captured a tense moment between tennis players Ajla Tomljanović and Matteo Berrettini.

Tomljanović needed to do an early morning TV interview in their shared hotel suite. Berrettini, an Italian ranked in the top 20 and still competing in the tournament, insisted he needed his sleep and suggested she find another room. Tomljanović joked she’d tell viewers he kicked her out, to which Berrettini replied that people would side with him since he was still in the tournament.

This exchange highlighted the pressures of balancing personal relationships and professional demands, especially when both partners are elite athletes. The couple’s dynamic, as shown in the series, revealed underlying strains.

The couple broke up a month after this incident.

I bet he didn't put her out when she was putting out.

The amount of dedication and hard work Djokovic puts into taking care of his health and body is second to none. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the oldest man alive and still in perfect health.

Nothing like this will ever come between us.

 
Stop underestimating the power of a good night's sleep.

It might just be your untapped resource for peak performance.

Take it from Djokovic, who revolutionized his career by prioritizing sleep alongside rigorous training and nutrition.

He boldly claims the night, specifically the moment his head hits the pillow, as the most crucial part of his day.

Imagine the scene:

The world's top tennis player, after a day of intense matches and training, values his sleep as much as his practice.

Why?

Because sleep is when the body recovers, the mind sorts through the day's information, and overall well-being is rejuvenated.

It's a lesson many of us can learn from, and is especially a wake-up call for leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers, who often sacrifice sleep in the pursuit of success.

Most Americans—about 50 to 70 million—struggle with sleep disorders, with many getting less than the recommended seven hours per night.

This neglect can diminish our focus, energy, and overall health.

Like Djokovic, transforming our nights into periods of meaningful rest can lead to significant improvements in our daily lives and performance levels.

Please calm down. No one is underestimating the importance of a good night sleep. Or a healthy diet. They are underestimating the importance of magical pyramids.
 
LOL. Adult human beings are supposed to sleep for 7-9 hours per night. Anything less than 7 hours is less than ideal, and anything less than 5 hours is poor unless you are a pensioner.
 
In general, sleep is very important not only for players but for almost everyone.

For eg. I can work well if i have a good sleep. I feel fresh. If not, i would feel sleepy the whole day.

Same applies to tennis players. They need that energy for their matches. Sinner says he 'sleeps' 10 hours. Djokovic also sleeps long. No wonder they can play that well

The GOAT Djoker most certainly understands the stages of sleep. He is stating that he must first enter Deep Sleep before experiencing rejuvenating REM sleep.

Deep sleep is critical for physical recovery, while REM sleep is indispensable for mental recovery, learning, and strategic performance.
Both are essential, but REM sleep provides unique cognitive benefits that deep sleep alone cannot offer.

For a player of Djokovic’s caliber, REM sleep is about mental recovery—it is a critical component of skill mastery and strategic edge.
By aligning practice schedules to maximize post-training sleep, especially REM-rich sleep, Djokovic can reinforce technical skills, sharpen match strategies, and maintain the adaptability that defines his game. This science-backed approach can help sustain his elite performance and competitive advantage on the tennis court.

How REM Sleep Supports The Djoker's Tennis Skills​

  • Motor Skill Consolidation:
    Tennis requires complex motor skills: precise serves, rapid footwork, and coordinated strokes. Research shows that sleep, particularly when it follows practice, consolidates these motor memories, making movements more automatic and efficient. For Djokovic, this means that practicing new techniques or refining existing ones before sleep can lead to measurable improvements in performance the next day.
  • Serving Accuracy and Performance:
    Studies on tennis players demonstrate that extending sleep duration improves serving accuracy and overall athletic performance. For a pro like Djokovic, optimizing sleep could translate to more consistent serves and fewer unforced errors during matches.
  • Timing of Practice and Sleep:
    Evidence suggests that practicing close to bedtime, followed by sleep, enhances skill retention by up to 30% compared to practicing earlier in the day and staying awake for hours before sleeping. For Djokovic, scheduling technical or tactical training sessions in the evening could maximize the consolidation of new strategies or skills.
  • Protection Against Interference:
    Sleep not only strengthens new skills but also protects them from being overwritten by subsequent activities or learning. This is crucial for Djokovic, who must adapt to different opponents and conditions without losing previously honed skills.
