Introduction 🏃
Movement is one of the most reliable ways to improve sleep quality. It helps regulate your body clock, lowers stress, and increases deep sleep.
What Kinds of Exercise Help? 🏋️
- Moderate cardio: Brisk walking, cycling, or swimming most days of the week.
- Resistance training: 2–3 sessions weekly support metabolism and sleep quality.
- Mind‑body work: Yoga or tai chi reduce arousal and support relaxation.
Timing Tips ⏰
- Finish vigorous workouts at least 2–3 hours before bed.
- Light stretching or easy yoga in the evening is fine.
- Get morning or midday sunlight with your walk to reinforce circadian timing.
Getting Started 🚀
- Begin with 20–30 minutes most days and build gradually.
- Keep it enjoyable—consistency beats intensity.
- Track sleep quality to notice which activities help most.
Conclusion & Takeaway ✅
Move a little more, sleep a little deeper. Consistent, moderate activity paired with smart timing can transform how rested you feel.
