5 exercises to sleep better

Exercising regularly promotes better quality sleep by extending sleep duration and increasing sleep efficiency 💤

There are several reasons for this. Exercise can regulate natural sleep cycles, tire you out physically to help you fall asleep more easily, and also reduce anxiety and depression (which are factors that disrupt sleep).

The good news is that any type of physical activity is beneficial for quality sleep.

We list some examples for you and explain why 😊

1/ The race

This exercise helps release endorphins and thus increase the amount of deep sleep.

It also helps to greatly reduce stress and anxiety.

2/ Yoga

This activity reduces arousal to help you calm down, leading to more restful nights.

It is recommended to do your session just before going to bed.

3/ The walk

Walking helps clear your head and thus improve the quality of your sleep. It's important to do this activity regularly; the effects appear after about four weeks.

4/ Bodybuilding

Strength training improves cardiometabolic health, mood, and physical function, each of which can improve sleep.
