5.4 Excersizing For
Better Sleep
Aside from meditation, physical activity undoubtedly has
many benefits in relation to sleep quality and combatting
sleep disorders. Over the years, there has been a great
deal of research done on the connection between exercise
and sleep. Previous research has shown that regular exercise
helps improve sleep-related issues and aid in getting
enough rest.

Today's scientists contend that there is a mutually beneficial
relationship between sleep and exercise. In other words,
improving your exercise regimen may help you sleep better,
while obtaining enough sleep may encourage healthier
levels of physical activity throughout the day. Adults who
engage in moderate-to-vigorous exercise have better quality
sleep because it shortens the time it takes them to fall
asleep. Additionally, engaging in physical exercise might
lessen daytime drowsiness and, for some individuals, the
need for sleep aids. (Pacheco, 2022)
