Regular Exercise
Exercising regularly can also help with insomnia. It enhances mood, well-being, and fitness levels and allows better night time sleep. These claims are according to research conducted by scientists involving adults with sleep issues who experienced better sleep quality, mood, and vitality with regular exercise. Since 50 percent of middle-aged and older adults have chronic insomnia symptoms, the research studied how aerobic exercise affects insomnia in older and middle-aged adults.
According to 2015 research, spending 150 minutes weekly for exercise can help improve insomnia, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Depression, stress, and anxiety are among the primary causes of sleep issues. Exercise relaxes the body and mind as the body excretes feel-good chemicals during this physical activity, which ward off anxiety and stress.
Low-impact exercise regimens are suggested by experts, including yoga, swimming, and walking. Also, the body is exposed to natural light while exercising outside, which is crucial for creating a healthy sleep-wake cycle. Setting workout sessions during the morning and noon is also better than evening for the best results. Doing this will allow the temperature of the body to increase and decrease the best time for sleep.
