Slumbered Sleep

According to research that are now available, Charlene
Gamaldo, M.D., medical director of the Johns Hopkins Center
for Sleep at Howard County General Hospital, states that "“We
have solid evidence that exercise does, in fact, help you fall
asleep more quickly and improves sleep quality." Slow wave
sleep duration is increased by light aerobic exercise.

Deep sleep, during which the body and brain have a chance
to regenerate, is referred to as slow wave sleep. Exercise can
also support mood stability and mental relaxation. Exercise
causes an increase in core body temperature, which tells the
body clock it is time to wake up. The temperature of the core
body begins to decrease after around 30 to 90 minutes after
falling asleep. (John Hopkins Medicine, 2022)
