Exercise and Better Sleep

People who exercise regularly sleep better and report less daytime drowsiness than couch potatoes do.
People who work out on a regular basis report better shut-eye and less daytime fatigue than those who don’t exercise regularly. Just how much exercise are we talking? The study, published in the journal Mental Health and Physical Activity, defined physically active people as those who meet the national exercise guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate activity (like walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous activity (like running) a week.
While this study doesn’t prove you can run, jog or bike away from chronic sleep problems, it does suggest that regular physical activity may help some people sleep better. After all, depression, stress and anxiety can all do a number on our sleep patterns, while a good sweat session can help bolster our emotional health.
