The BEST Way To Better Sleep?

Do you find yourself unrested when you wake up in the morning?

Or are you one who will go to bed a tad bit later than you should, only to be tired, groggy, and moody in the morning?

Do you toss and turn, night after night, hoping the next night you will be relieved?

Trust me, if you answered yes to ANY of these questions, you are not alone!

In fact, most of our current society may fall into the category of constantly not getting enough sleep.

And this is making not only for a very tired society, but it could also be adding to the waist, hips, butt, and thighs of people who routinely,
get less than 8 hours of sleep per night.

Now, the average person gets, on a good night, roughly 6 hours of sleep.

But that 6 hours may NOT be uninterrupted, meaning you may toss..

You may turn…

You may sleepwalk…

Or you may wake up in a panic, never really getting a full night’s REST!

And this may be the WORST thing going forward through your day.

Although, there are many different ways to encourage better sleep, there may be ONE real good way – that you can start TODAY – that may help you fall asleep – and stay asleep – better…

Exercise and Better Sleep

Most people who exercise, report many – and I am talking about MANY – different reported health benefits.

From lower stress levels, better cholesterol, weight loss, better sex drive, and a better feeling of well-being.

But what they may not tell you is this: exercise may BOOST your ability to sleep…

And not just sleep, but sleep SOUNDLY!

Here are some statistics for you:

• 76 percent to 83 percent of exercises reported their sleep to be very good or fairly good compared to the only 39 percent of NON-EXERCISERS

• Vigorous to moderate exercisers were more likely (56 to 67 percent) to report they had a good night’s sleep

As you can see, the statistics don’t lie!

The more you exercise, as well as the intensity that you exercise at, may help you to sleep better at night.

Now, a lot of people will tell you to exercise earlier in the day, as opposed to late at night, which could be great advice.

The reason: exercise stimulates your body.

You may be full of energy, which may prevent your body from wanting to fall asleep right after, or soon after, your workout.

However, according to some findings, it may not matter what time you exercise!

In fact, people who worked out in the morning or who worked out right before bedtime reported no adverse reactions to sleep.

And vigorous exercise, well, let’s just say it WORKS wonders!

People who exercised vigorously rarely complained of insomnia, getting back to sleep, or staying asleep.

Now, here is something that was interesting…

Non-exercisers experienced more sleepiness throughout the day, rarely had a good night’s sleep, AND had a higher chance of suffering from sleep apnea.

The BEST Way To Encourage Sleep?

Although there are many ways to encourage better sleep, but there may be ONE way to guarantee a good night’s sleep: exercise.

Exercise has been shown to reduce stress, release powerful mood-enhancing hormones, and even reduce weight and build lean muscle mass.

But now, different forms of exercise – light, moderate, and vigorous – have been linked to better sleep patterns.

And this is welcome news!  Non-exercisers may have a harder time falling asleep, staying asleep, and suffering from sleep apnea.

Take home message is this: no matter what you do to encourage sleep (dark room, saving the bed for sleeping, and meditation), exercise may be one KEY to better and most restful sleep.
