Indirectly, exercise might also enhance sleep. For instance, engaging

in moderate to vigorous exercise can reduce the chance

of excessive weight gain, that in turn lowers the likelihood that

someone would encounter the symptoms and signs of obstructive

sleep apnea. Less active than people who have appropriate

sleep cycles are those who have trouble sleeping. Particularly,

those who have specific sleep issues are less inclined to work

out during the day. Adults who experience insomnia are typically

less energetic than those who don't. The same holds true

for those who suffer from OSA and other sleep breathing disorders,

albeit in this demographic, being overweight could also be

a contributing factor. As opposed to individuals who sleep in or

are more active in the evening, early risers or "morning people"

are much more likely to participate in physical activity. In fact,

several studies have found that exercise may change someone's

preference for the day or even their circadian rhythms

over time. (Pacheco, 2022)
