– The idea is that it helps you to manage your sleep, which is the most important factor for recovery, answers the English national team coach Gareth Southgate to the southern goal from news’s reporter. He himself wore the black ring during the press conference before the meeting with Slovenia on Tuesday. He and is also observed with the ring during training. Midfielder Conor Gallagher and defender John Stones have also been seen wearing the special ring during the championship in Germany. Declan Rice, who also attended the press conference, however, was not wearing the ring. – I have lost it, he said with a smile. TRAINING: As we can see in this photo from training, Phil Foden is also wearing the black ring.

As we got home late after the previous game, it might encourage you to take an afternoon nap or recover a little more or spend some time relaxing more. So we try to manage the energy throughout the tournament. He emphasizes that the ring is just as important for the support apparatus as the players during the championship. The ring has long been popular in celebrity circles. Both Kim Kardashian, Prince Harry and Gwyneth Paltrow are said to be diligent users of the smart ring. The ring monitors, among other things, sleep, heart rate and stress level. John Stones has used the ring for a long time and told Face Magazine last year that it is the first thing he checks in the morning. – It is addictive. It tells me how long it took to fall asleep, how much REM sleep and deep sleep I managed and how many times I woke up. It’s crazy. Beware of letting it rule your life Sleep expert Tomas Myklebust believes that for ordinary people such a ring is of little use. – The technology is very good, but there are limits to how good an insight you can get into your own body through a ring on your finger. If you end up letting this technology rule your life, I think that in many ways it can be more limiting than useful, says Myklebust to news. He believes that most of us can manage just fine without such a ring, but that for top athletes during a European Championship it can have its advantages as well. The pressure that comes with a long championship can actually affect sleep. SKEPTICAL: Sleep expert Tomas Myklebust is not only positive about the ring that monitors the English players. Photo: Håkon Lexberg – For many of these players, I actually think it can be positive. Because during championships it is not so easy to know for yourself whether you are tired and in need of restitution, precisely because you want to be and perform at your best. The sleep expert believes that Stones finds the ring to be addictive. He also believes that you should not trust everything the ring tells you. – It could be that random things kick in. Even if one has had a bad night’s sleep, maybe even two, we can certainly perform at a high level despite that. Going beyond the night’s sleep news’s football expert Åge Hareide thinks this can be a useful tool. POSITIVE: news’s football expert thinks the ring to the English players can be useful. Photo: Helene Mariussen / news – Food, sleep and the right drink are the most important things when you step off the track, so I think that has something to do with it. That people get to know and regulate that they have a good sleep, I think can be useful for a player. He believes that the adrenaline kick you get after a match stays in the body for a long time and it affects the night’s sleep. – I did it myself and struggled a lot with sleep after the match and I still do that now, says Hareide. Dave Thomas works with England’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes at the UK Sport Institute. He says the ring can give the team’s researchers a different perspective on how the players are doing during the tournament. – It gives an indication of whether the athletes may be sick or overloaded, says Thomas to SKY News.
