It was believed that a good exercise helps to relax more at night, due to natural to get tired with him, but now it seems that the opposite result.
A study of fourteen participants who wore armbands to monitor their movements for 23 days, showed that the most active were least napped.
Surprisingly, total sleep time increased by an average of 42 minutes each night after days of low activity.
The findings, presented at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Illinois, suggests that exercise and sleep have a more complicated than was known hitherto.
It has long been recommended as part of the exercise prescription to improve sleep, but this new study do not support this idea, because the longer and deeper sleep occurred after days with low effort.
Sleep is very important because it allows the brain to recover from the rigors of the day and not getting enough can increase the risk of tired, heart disease and depression.
However, moderate physical exercise is always recommended for optimal health, which in turn includes proper sleep quota, so for those with sleep problems should consult with specialists who know how to find the personal balance that leads to this unhealthy condition.
