Move for better Sleep
Health is interconnected. You know this, we know this. However when it comes to sleep and movement, this could not be truer. The amount movement you get throughout the day is directly correlated to your quality of sleep at night. It can help reduce stress levels on top of just tiring you out physically. We will never prescribe a one-size fits all exercise routine. We want you to get moving in whatever way makes you feel good and most importantly you look forward to doing.
We also understand that some days activity doesn’t happen and there are even days when it does, but we still find it difficult to fall asleep at night. Here are Sleep.org’s top exercises to improve your sleep.
Go for a walk after dinner. It is that time of year when the weather is starting to become bearable, which means it's the perfect opportunity to get outside for an evening stroll. Bonus: evening walks contribute to your aerobic activity goals! |
Roll out. Consider investing in a foam roller. It is essentially a self massage, woo! During the day, tension builds up in our muscles from stress so rolling out before bed is a nice way to release that built up stress.
Become a yogi. Or just add stretching into your evening routine. Also great for stress reduction because meditation is incorporated into yoga as well as the tension release that comes from stretching out your muscles. Afterward you will feel more relaxed and ready for bed. |
