Regular exercise can improve sleep quality from "summary" of Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson
In our modern world, many people struggle to get a good night's sleep. We toss and turn, unable to shut off our busy minds and relax into restful slumber. But what if I told you that there is a simple solution to this common problem? Regular exercise has been shown to be a powerful tool in improving the quality of our sleep.
When we engage in physical activity on a regular basis, we are not only improving our physical health but also our mental well-being. Exercise helps to reduce stress and anxiety, two common culprits of poor sleep. By releasing feel-good hormones like endorphins, exercise can help to calm our minds and prepare our bodies for a restful night.
But the benefits of exercise on sleep go beyond just reducing stress. When we work out, we are also increasing our body's temperature, which can help to promote deeper sleep. As we cool down after a workout, our body signals to our brain that it's time to rest, leading to a more restorative sleep cycle.
Additionally, regular exercise can help regulate our circadian rhythm, our body's internal clock that tells us when to wake up and when to sleep. By establishing a consistent exercise routine, we are also setting a schedule for our bodies to follow, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up at the same time each day.
So if you find yourself struggling to get a good night's sleep, consider incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Whether it's a brisk walk in the morning or a yoga class in the evening, moving your body can have profound effects on the quality of your sleep. By making exercise a priority, you may find yourself drifting off to sleep more easily and waking up feeling refreshed and energized.
