Exercise regularly
Top 4 in Top 8 Healthy Sleep Hygiene Habits
Your overall health and the quality of your sleep can both be improved by as little as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day. And since exposure to natural light helps regulate your sleep cycle, the advantages may be increased even further if you can exercise outside.
But don't worry if you can't leave the house. Even routine indoor exercise may improve your ability to sleep. Specifically, moderate-to-vigorous exercise can increase sleep quality for adults by reducing sleep onset – or the time it takes to fall asleep – and decreasing the amount of time they lie awake in bed during the night. Just stay away from exercising an hour or two before going to bed. Your body temperature and energy levels may rise as a result, which could make it more difficult for you to fall asleep. Yoga or stretching are good options if you want to exercise later in the day.
