Exercise And Sleeping Better

The amount of physical exercise that you exert during

the day is one of the key ingredients to helping you

get a good sleep at night. The more active your

body is during the day, the more likely you are to

relax at night and fall asleep faster.

With regular exercise you’ll notice that your quality

of sleep is improved and the transition between the

cycles and phases of sleep will become smoother and

more regular. By keeping up your physical activity

during the day, you may find it easier to deal with

the stress and worries of your life.

Research and studies indicate that there is a direct

correlation between how much we exercise and how

we feel afterwards.

You should try and increase your physical activity

during the day. The goal here is to give your body

enough stimulation during the day so that you aren’t

full of energy at night.

Your body requires a certain amount of physical

activity in order to keep functioning in a healthy

manner. It is also important to note that you should

not be exercising three or four hours before you go

to bed.

The ideal exercise time is in the late afternoon or

early evening. You want to make sure you expend

your physical energy long before it is time for

your body to rest and ready itself for sleep.

You should attempt to exercise at least three or

four times a week for a period of 30 minutes or so.

You can include walking or something simple. If

you prefer, you can include strenuous activities

such as running as well.

The goal here is to increase your heart rate and

strengthen the capacity of your lungs. By adding

a regular exercise activity to your daily schedule

will help you to improve your overall health and

help you emotionally as well.

Along with running and walking there are several

other physical activities that you can add to your

daily life to increase your level of physical

activity. If you are battling not sleeping, you’ll

find aerobic exercise to be the best.

Your goal with exercise is to increase the amount

of oxygen that reaches your blood stream. Overall,

there are many types of aerobic exercise for you

to choose from. The activities include running,

biking, using a treadmill, dancing, and jumping

rope.

There are some non aerobic exercises that you may

find beneficial to help you solve your amnesia

problem.

Yoga

Yoga is an exercise that has a stimulatory effect

on your nervous system, especially the brain. Yoga

utilizes breathing techniques and yoga postures to

increase the blood circulation to the brain, promoting

regular and restful sleeping patterns. The regular

practice of yoga will help you to relax as well

as relieve tension and stress.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an ancient art of breathing and movement

that was developed by the Chinese monks. The

movements involved are slow and precise, which is

ideal if you have joint pains or you are unable

to participate in high aerobic exercises. Research

has shown that Tai Chi can help with insomnia by

promoting relaxation.

If you discover that you don’t have any time to

exercise on a regular basis, you should try to

sneak moments of activity into your schedule.

Whenever possible, you should take the stairs instead

of the elevator, as little things like that will

do wonders for your body.

You should also park your car around the corner and

walk that extra block or two to get to your

destination. As you may know, there are many small

things you can add to increase the activity in

your life. Your overall goal here is to have a

healthy and well balanced life – with plenty of

sleep.
