Do you want to sleep better? This method works for almost everyone

For example, a 2015 meta-analysis showed that both short-term and regular exercise (several sessions per week) can lead to improved sleep. This means that even one exercise can be enough to improve the quality and duration of sleep.

Regular aerobic exercise has also been shown to help people fall asleep faster, wake up less at night, and feel more rested the next morning. These include cycling, running and even brisk walking. Additionally, studies have shown that people who exercise regularly (about three times a week) subjectively have better sleep quality.

The good news is that the sleep benefits of exercise seem to be seen in everyone, regardless of age.
