One surprising aspect of Ronaldo’s longevity may have less to do with training routines or nutrition, and more to do with a simple habit: keeping his mobile phone out of his bedroom.

According to Cedric Soares, Ronaldo’s former Portugal teammate, the football icon is extremely disciplined about limiting his exposure to technology, especially before bedtime.

Speaking to ESPN Brasil, as quoted by GOAL, Cedric revealed that Ronaldo avoids using his cell phone at night and leaves it outside the bedroom when it’s time to sleep.

According to Soares, the former Manchester and Real Madrid player even stops using his cell phone at certain times.

This might seem trivial to some, but for Cristiano Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, every detail matters.

Why does Ronaldo not keep phone in bedroom?

According to Soares, Ronaldo’s reasoning for not having his mobile phone in his bedroom, is focused on the quality of sleep.

“There was a time when he said to me, ‘Cedric, you can’t use 5G because it can affect your sleep.’ That was when 5G came along. I don’t know if he still does it, but he blocked the signal to sleep x hours,” Cedric added.

He believes that electromagnetic signals — whether from 5G or just mobile phones in general — can interfere with sleep patterns.

By removing his phone from the bedroom, Ronaldo is practicing a form of digital hygiene that many sleep experts recommend.

For someone who relies heavily on recovery for his physical performance, this approach seems to be part of a broader, evidence-backed strategy to optimize health and performance.

Ronaldo’s commitment to controlling even the smallest aspects of his environment demonstrates the discipline that has kept him at the top of world football for two decades, as he seeks to become the first player to score 1000 competitive career goals.

Pele and Romario claimed to have reached the historic goal mark, but their tallies include goals scored in friendly matches.
