EXERCISE BEFORE SLEEP

Wat i think is that the sleep depends on many factors....physical work as well as state of mind

Dear Supriya,

Nice information

Exercising right before bed or within about three hours of bedtime can actually make it harder to fall asleep. This surprises many people; it's often thought that a good workout before bed helps you feel more tired. In actuality, vigorous exercise right before bed stimulates your heart, brain and muscles -- the opposite of what you want at bedtime. It also raises your body temperature right before bed, which, you'll soon discover, is not what you want.

Everyone's body temperature naturally goes up slightly in the daytime and back down at night, reaching its low just before dawn. Decreasing body temperature seems to be a trigger, signaling the body that it's time to sleep. Exercise temporarily raises the body temperature as much as two degrees.

Twenty or 30 minutes of exercise is sufficient to keep the body temperature at this higher level for a period of four to five hours, after which it drops lower than if you hadn't exercised. This lower body temperature is what helps you sleep better. So if you exercise five to six hours before going to bed, you will be attempting to sleep at the same time your temperature is beginning to go down.

That's the best way to maximize exercise's beneficial effects on sleep.

Dear Supriya
While I can totally accept the fact that good physical exercise helps one to sleep better; I am a little doubtful whether exercise just before you go to sleep can help you. Will you please verify on that? In earlier days they used to say " Take a walk after your supper." That used to be the habit of many people. But I seem to have read that , that practise is not totally good, though I am not very clear about it.

madam its true that a physical exercise before sleep gives nice sleep as a person gets tired .but i think if a person though does exercise if is mentally stressed can he get good sleep i mean if person having some thoughts around him.
and madam i have once read that a spoon full of honey may help in sleep.is it true?

dear supriya..
great blog..excercise daily makes you healthy and fit..

Dear Madam,

As you are saying that increased physical activity can lead to better sleep….. Since increased physical activity increases the levels of adrenaline and nor-adrenaline producing stimulatory effects like increased heart beat etc.., thus preventing from being tired. If we are not tried then how can we get a better sleep?

HI, supriya
ITs natural that if we are tired we fall asleep ....
Are there any other ways ?
Other than meditation etc

Dear Supriya,

Its a very nice topic on which everyone should be aware-off in the present day life.. but do you think physical exercise is the only way for peaceful sleep??
What i feel is practicing Meditation or Yoga also provides peaceful sleep to an individual.. and even there will no much loss of energy by this practice also...... is'nt it!!
What you say about it?

Regards,

Dear..
This is very true....exercise and work out are always healthy....
