Same here. Plus drinking much less, I rarely drink these days, and when I do it’s not more than 2 beers or glasses of wine.
But mostly it’s the exercise. If I didn’t go for a nice long walk, at minimum, then I know I’m gonna sleep like crap.
- ukuina 3y agoIs there a maximum time-of-effect there? i.e, if you work out in the morning, does it have less of an impact on sleep quality than working out in the evening?
- vosper 3y agoFor walking, no - it doesn't matter when I do it. Though I would avoid going for more than a light stroll within an hour of bedtime. For resistance training or cycling I'd try to avoid finishing within two hours of bedtime - those two make it harder for me to fall asleep. I have found that a cool or cold shower before bed really helps. If I am warmed up from exercise (or just sitting in a warm room) I find it much harder to go to sleep. But not too cold for too long - that can be stimulating; not what I want!
