This One Exercise Is Scientifically Proven To Help You Sleep Better Study

The study suggests that yoga’s combination of physical and mental elements may be the reason for its effectiveness. A recent study suggests that high-intensity yoga could be the best exercise for improving sleep. Published in the journal Sleep and Biological Rhythms, a meta-analysis led by researchers at Harbin Sport University in China examined data from 30 randomized controlled trials. These trials included over 2,500 people from more than a dozen countries who suffered from sleep disturbances. Yoga raises the heart rate and strengthens muscles, similar to other exercises. However, its focus on breath control is thought to be particularly important, as it can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s “rest and digest” state. This promotes a feeling of calm that may lead to better sleep. practicing high-intensity yoga for less than 30 minutes, just twice a week, was more effective at improving sleep quality than other forms of exercise like walking, resistance training, and aerobic workouts. The positive results were seen relatively quickly, in as few as 8 to 10 weeks.
