Short exercise breaks in the evening may help improve sleep quality and overall nighttime recovery. Light physical activity such as stretching, walking, or bodyweight exercises can reduce stress, relax the body, and support healthier sleep patterns when done in moderation. Adding simple movement into your evening routine may help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more refreshed.
