While many things can impact our sleep, one of the secrets to a good night's rest is exercise. Keeping your body active is just as important as the mind, but sometimes the way we exercise can actually hinder our ability to sleep.
Exercise of all types can boost energy levels and release serotonin and endorphins. This helps regulate our sleep wake cycle, keeping us awake and energetic during the day and sleepy at night. However, exercising too late in the evening or partaking in particularly strenuous exercise at night can prevent us from falling asleep.
