Physical Activity Helps You to Sleep

About one in ten people suffer from insomnia — defined as having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early.

In a 1985 survey of 1600 Finns, 33% of men and 30% of women rated exercise as the most important sleep-promoting factor.

In a 1995 study, older people that were healthy but not particularly physically active, but experienced normal sleep patterns, participated in six months of either aerobic exercise or stretching and flexibility training. Both groups reported sleeping better at the end of the program.
