Exercise and Sleep: A Perfect Match
Struggling to sleep ? Exercise might be your best solution! Regular physical activity not only boosts health but also enhances sleep quality.
Here's how a sweat can lead to sweet dreams.
How Exercise Improves Sleep
Exercise is a sleep superhero:
- Boosts Melatonin: Helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
- Banishes Stress: Reduces one of the biggest culprits behind restless nights.
- Lifts Mood: A better mood promotes consistent physical activity and restful sleep.
- Regulates Temperature: Reduces one of the biggest culprits behind restless nights.
The Exercise - Insomnia Connection
Insomnia impacts up to 30% of people and worsens focus, memory, and mood. Thankfully, just 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise three times a week can help you.
- Fall asleep faster.
- Sleep longer.
- Wake up feeling refreshed.
Fast Facts from Research
- Regular exercise can add 15 extra minutes of sleep per night.
- Aerobic activities like walking or cycling are particularly effective for tackling insomnia.
- Exercise's benefits often kick in the same day!
When Should You Exercise ?
- Evening Workouts: For some late exercise raises endorphins and delays sleep.
