How evening workouts affect sleep

Harvard Health

According to a study published in the medical journal Sports Medicine, exercising during the evening can have positive effects on sleep quality. Moderate to light exercises like yoga or a gentle bike ride could potentially improve sleep quality by helping manage stress and anxiety. Additionally, the cooling down of body temperature post workout could also signal the body that it is time to rest. It's essential to note the effect varies from one person to another. Experimenting with exercise timing and monitoring sleep quality can help people in finding a balanced routine that promotes both physical activity and restful sleep.
