Exercise and sleep 🔥

Exercise effects on Sleep Stages

Exercise promotes restorative sleep meaning more DEEP sleep and REM sleep. This is where your learning and memories are consolidated and leads to you feeling refreshed and restored when you wake up.

2. Timing and intensity of exercise

Is it really better to do exercise in morning?

Yes exercise wakes you up by releasing neurotransmitters, cortisol, adrenaline and endorphins. It is a good idea to align this with your circadian rhythm and kickstart your day.

if you have to exercise in evening choose the relaxing mindful yoga and stretching.

beware that an increase in body temperature will take you longer to fall asleep. (your core temperature must drop before entering sleep!)

3. Different Types of Exercise for Better Sleep

cardio, strength and mindfulness exercises all have different advantages to better sleep. The combined affects being physical fatigue, stress reduction and hormonal release. All these components promote a more restful and deeper sleep as well as decreasing your sleep latency (the time taken to fall asleep!)
