Engaging in regular physical activity can help you achieve a blissful night's sleep. The National Sleep Foundation maintains that even light exercise, such as a ten-minute walk, can dramatically improve sleep quality. Physical activity helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, reduce stress, and increase the duration of deep, restorative sleep. Be mindful, however, of your workout schedule. Exercising too close to bed can produce adrenaline, keeping you awake. Aim to complete active workouts at least two hours before planned sleep.
