Although daily might be a bit extreme, the effect of regular exercise on sleep is pretty profound, at least in my case. I've been sleeping longer and better (according to my Fitbit) since I started working out and running, and if I have to have more than a few days off my sleep really starts to suffer.
- lloeki 7y ago> daily might be a bit extreme You can exercise daily without issue for extended periods of time, you just can't exercise daily to the limit (or even anywhere close to). How to do it really depends on the activity (or activities). Nice explanation for calisthenics, but if you pay attention you can transpose it to any activity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA9OklE7r3A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA9OklE7r3A There was a similar blog post at Runtastic but I can't seem to find it RN.
- dylanz 7y agoAccurate. I used to go to the gym and lift weights 6 days a week regularly, slept fine. I just took two months off and didn’t exercise at all. I hopped back into my gym routine again this week and besides being extremely sore (which can happen ever if you only take a week off), I can barely fall asleep and the quality of sleep is horrible. I’ve read that it’s common among bodybuilders who train too hard. It may be a a shock to the central nervous system (heavy compounds like deadlifts can do that).
