Mornings Matter - Nickolai Damgaard
Meet Nikolai: father, biohacker, Executive Coach, breathwork trainer, author, speaker, and passionate advocate for green energy - both in the body and the mind. When asked what drives him, Nikolai answers without hesitation: his children. With two kids aged 9 and 11, his biggest motivation is to be a present father and a role model - ideally one who can still play football without falling behind. Nikolai often uses the image of the body’s battery - green, yellow, and red levels. Many people start the day in yellow and end in red. The consequence? It becomes difficult to show up for the people we love most.
“There must be an evolutionary reason why we’re meant to spend about a third of our lives sleeping. But we’ve never slept worse. The people at Netflix even say sleep is their biggest competitor - that says it all.”
For Nikolai, a good life starts with the basics: sleep. It’s the foundation for energy, focus, and balance.
