Erling Haaland reveals he tapes his mouth shut when he sleeps at night

Erling Haaland says he tapes his mouth shut while sleeping, revealing the benefits behind his unusual practice.

The Manchester City man became the first-sponsored footballer to sign for KSI and Logan Paul's Prime.

And he joined the American's podcast 'Impaulsive' - alongside KSI, who was trolled by the superstar forward over his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury.

The Norwegian phenom also spoke about his sleep pattern, bizarrely revealing that he sleeps with his mouth taped shut.

Speaking to Paul and KSI, he said: "I think sleep is the most important thing in the world. To sleep good, simple kind of things like blue-blocking glasses, shutting out all the signals in the bedroom, I think is really important.

"You should try and tape your mouth. I sleep with it. Doing a lot of things is not good but doing small things every single day for a longer period really pays off."

The reason behind his strange practice is to maximise breathing through the nostrils and exposure to sources of blue light can affect sleep.

His nocturnal habits clearly work considering his ultra-prolific campaign last season as he bagged a staggering 52 goals in all competitions.

And he's off to an impressive start this term, having already scored three goals.

Haaland, who joined Man City on a five-year contract in 2022, was also asked about a move to the Major League Soccer following Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami.

He told Paul that he would consider heading to the States for the last couple of years of his career.

"I've not be there much, so it's difficult to say," said Haaland.

"But I'm 23, people are going over to the MLS and playing football there, I've never thought of it because I'm young."

He added: "I'm a footballer, in ten years I'm 33 and I've got my last couple of years in football."
