If you’ve ever had a terrible workout after a poor night’s sleep, or struggled to fall asleep after sitting at a desk all day, you’ve felt the Sleep-Activity Loop. Physical activity is one of the most effective non-pharmacological ways to improve sleep quality, while sleep provides the hormonal repair needed for your muscles to recover.

How they work together:

  • Boost deep sleep: Moderate aerobic exercise increases the amount of slow wave, or what is commonly referred to as deep sleep
  • Calms the mind: Moderate & vigorous exercise releases endorphins, which can lower stress and anxiety, resulting in improved relaxation and better sleep

Try this

Commit to a 10-20 minute brisk walk before 2:00 PM today. Tracking shows that even moderate midday movement increases the "sleep pressure" needed for a deeper rest tonight.
