"Evening Exercise Proven to Enhance Sleep Quality, Study Finds"
TL;DR Summary
A study from the University of Otago in New Zealand found that performing short, simple exercises like chair squats, calf raises, and standing knee raises every 30 minutes over four hours in the evening can help people sleep about 27 minutes longer. The research challenges the belief that evening exercise disrupts sleep, showing no significant differences in sleep quality between those who exercised and those who remained sedentary. The study involved 28 non-smoking adults and was published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine.
