3 Tips for Better Sleep
Tired of tossing and turning at night and waking up exhausted?
Here are some tips and suggestions involving light exercises to help you achieve a better night's sleep.
Walking
A good walk outside might be the solution to your sleep deprivation. Walking at any pace is a nice method to unwind after a long day. The combined advantages of exercise and exposure to nature enhance restfulness.
Flexibility training
Aches and pain may cause problems on a good night's sleep. If your body hurts and you can't sleep, consider including yoga exercises into your night regimen. Stretching at night can mobilise any stiff joints and relax any stiff muscles. Using a latex mattress might also be beneficial depending on one's comfort.
Strength training
Some believe that undertaking intensive activities at night, such as weightlifting, affects sleep, yet studies show otherwise. Keep in mind that you don't have to go overboard during a nighttime strength training workout. If you're worried about having difficulties sleeping, do a shorter or less intensive strength training exercise before bed.
