What often gets overlooked is the fact that the amount of physical exercise exerted during a days time directly influences the quality of sleep you experience at night. The more active you are during the day the more relaxed you typically are at night and the more likely you are to fall asleep faster. The transitions between sleep cycles are also expedited when one participates in exercise regularly. Exercise is also known to reduce the incidence of stress which is a known impedance to falling asleep in a timely manner. By being consistent with your exercise regimen, you may find it easier to deal with your stress and in turn have less obstacles in the way of falling asleep. Just a reminder however, this physical activity should not take place 3 to 4 hours before bed due to the fact that exercise (when done right) puts your body in an excited state for a few hours after the workout is done. During this excitement phase it is usually difficult to fall asleep. This is why the ideal time to work out is in the morning, afternoon or early evening. The ideal timetable for the average person is 3 to 4x a week for a period of about 45 minutes in succession. These minutes can be broken up into periods of no less than 10 minutes but exercise done in succession yields the best results. If you are battling not sleeping, you’ll find aerobic exercise to be the best.

Your goal with exercise is to increase the amount of oxygen that reaches your blood stream. If you discover that you don’t have any time to exercise on a regular basis, you should try to sneak moments of activity into your schedule. Whenever possible, you should take the stairs instead of the elevator or park your car around the corner and walk that extra block or two to get to your destination. There are many small things you can add to increase the activity in your life. Your overall goal here is to have a healthy and well balanced life with plenty of sleep.
