Body weight workouts in the evening may be linked to around 30 more minutes of sleep at night and without increasing sleep interruptions The consensus on whether working out before bedtime is detrimental to sleep health has been a long debated topic, with many studies finding exercise—especially vigorous exercise—in the evening results in poor sleep quality mainly women—slept fewer than seven hours a night, 4% slept more than nine hours and the rest slept seven hours, which is the optimal amount of sleep. The participants completed three-minute exercise breaks every 30 minutes over a period of four hours starting between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., and the exercises included body weight resistance training like chair squats and calf raises; the control group sat for four hours. Good sleep can boost the immune system, improve mood and energy, decrease the risk of chronic disease, increase muscle growth and boost brain function Women who sleep five hours or less are 15% more likely to become obese, a study found. People with irregular sleep schedules are more likely to have high blood pressure. Participants in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study who got six hours or less of sleep were 2.5 times more likely to have frequent mental distress than those who slept more.
