It’s been proven that regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and improve the quality of your sleep. Consistent physical activity can also reduce stress and anxiety, regulate your sleep/wake cycle and reduce symptoms of sleep disorders such as insomnia. For those who feel more awake and alert in the evening, exercising later in the day might not affect your sleep For early risers, evening workouts could disrupt your ability to fall asleep, leading to poorer sleep quality. For evening people, the fitness expert recommends avoiding exercise too close to bedtime and doing lower-intensity activities like yoga and stretching to help you relax. Be careful not to exercise too close to bedtime as vigorous exercises will increase your heart rate, body temperature, and adrenaline levels, which can all make it harder for your body to wind down While some studies suggest that exercising later in the evening doesn’t always negatively impact sleep, research indicates that exercising within an hour of bedtime can reduce sleep efficiency and lead to more time awake after falling asleep.
