Research says more exercise leads to less stress, which may help you sleep better! But not all types of exercise will work here…<\/h2>\n

\"sleepFor people who don\u2019t sleep well, take heart. A growing body of research is pointing to exercise as an effective tool to get better quality rest. It\u2019s a critical issue. Those who report less than good sleep quality also have only poor or fair health. Data like this clearly connects the dots between sleep and wellness. That makes evidence about the role of exercise even more pertinent.<\/p>\n

While the ability of exercise to reduce stress and anxiety by increasing the amount of happiness-boosting endorphins is well established, its impact on sleep is new territory. The results are promising and may have some insomniacs jumping for joy.\u00a0 A number of recent studies have shown that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (like brisk walking) helped participants fall asleep more quickly and increased their time spent sleeping. The moderate descriptor is important. Studies also found that vigorous aerobic activity, like jogging or lifting weights, did NOT have a positive effect on sleep.<\/p>\n

How does it work? There\u2019s no definitive answer yet, but the benefits of exercise<\/a> could be linked to its ability to ease anxiety and depressive symptoms. Or another theory \u2013 exercise raises body temperature, then, when you stop, it drops, which may promote sleep. Either way, moving, stretching and strolling is good for you!<\/p>\n
