Exercise For Better Quality Sleep

Do you enjoy a peaceful sleep at night? Do you keep tossing and turning all night, or wake up in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep again? And when you finally get out of bed in the morning, you are sleepier than you were all night and are tired and full of fatigue?

This is an indicator that its time you visited your personal trainer and set up a proper exercise regime for yourself. Besides the wonderful physical and mental benefits, exercise makes it easier for you to fall asleep as well as sleep better all through the night. Just 20 to 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 times a week could do wonders. However, make sure that you exercise either during the morning or early afternoon and never during late hours of the day. Exercising before sleep time is not advised as exercise stimulates your body, raising its temperature, which is exactly the opposite of what you desire.

The amount of physical activity carried out during the day makes sure that you have a restful sleep. In order to relax fully and sleep better at night it is essential that you are more active during the day. When you exert your body & make it work hard enough, your muscles tire up and demand rest. Thus when your body itself starts demanding rest, you tend to sleep better.

The following points explain how working with your personal trainer could go a long way in helping you have a better quality sleep:

● Exercise relaxes the body and the mind.

● It reduces depression and anxiety, both of which are major enemies of a good quality sleep.

● Regular exercise makes the transitions between the cycles and phases of sleep smooth and regular.

● Exercise raises the body temperature initially, followed by a subsequent drop in body temperature after a few hours. When this drop persists for some 2 to 4 hours, with regular exercise, it greatly improves the quality of your sleep.

● Exercise dissipates lactic acid that accumulates in the blood, which reduces stress, both mental and physical.

● Muscular tension often disrupts sleep in the middle of the night. Exercise, eases this tension.

●When the body undergoes stress through exercise, the body compensates for the same by improving your deep sleep time, which consequently leads to you sleeping deeply and soundly all through the night.

Research and studies have clearly found that people who exercise regularly tend to sleep restfully and soundly as compared to the people who do not. They also never wake up in the middle of the night. When they wake up in the morning, they are fresher, and happier. They do not feel the tiresomeness and fatigue that is common among people who do not exercise regularly and who suffer from sleep disorders.

With the lifestyle becoming increasingly sedentary, is it not time that you visited your personal trainer, take your yoga and your work outs more seriously. A man can live longer without food or water than he can without sleep. So, exercise regularly, be fit and fine, and sleep tight, all night!
