The Surprising Science Behind Sleep And Exercise
By Emily Faherty
Believe it or not, tossing and turning in the middle of the night is not a suitable form of exercise. But studies suggest making time for an actual workout during the day could be key to a better night's sleep. The trick is being patient: According to recent research, exercising consistently can lead to improvements in sleep over time, but not immediately.
PE students: do you get enough sleep? how do you know how much you need? How does exercise affect your ability to get a better sleep? When do you exercise during the day? Do you find any changes in your sleep patterns connected to when you exercise? Ask a family member/ friend how exercise impacts the quality of their sleep. Has this course had any affect on your sleep quality/patterns?
