Regular physical activity is one of the most evidence-based tools for improving sleep quality. Exercise can help you fall asleep faster and spend more time in restorative sleep—especially when it becomes a consistent part of your week.
Aim for movement you enjoy and can sustain. For many people, morning or afternoon workouts work best; very vigorous exercise immediately before bed can be stimulating, so experiment with timing.
If you exercise regularly but still wake tired or your partner mentions heavy snoring, consider whether sleep apnea could be disturbing your sleep cycles despite an otherwise healthy lifestyle.
