A perfect night’s sleep is something that falls on everyone’s wish list at some point. I’ve worked out my own formula—low lights, a book in bed, and my phone nowhere in sight—but I’m always on the lookout for little hacks that might help me get even better-quality shut-eye. Now, thanks to a new study, researchers say yoga could be the one workout you need to sleep better.
The findings come from a meta-analysis published in the Sleep and Biological Rhythms journal, which reviewed the results of multiple trials looking at yoga’s impact on sleep. The research concluded that regular short stints of yoga practice were linked to improved sleep quality and more settled sleep, with particular benefits noted for people experiencing insomnia or disrupted rest.
