Many people don't exercise, but it can help you sleep better. Studies show that exercise during the day helps you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Even 10 minutes of exercise can help with sleep problems.
But don't exercise right before bed! It can make it harder to sleep. Interestingly, how you feel about your fitness is important too. A study found that people who thought they were fit slept better, even if they didn't exercise much. People who exercised a lot but didn't feel fit often slept poorly. So, exercise is good for sleep, but not too late in the day.
Also, believing in your fitness is important. The researcher said, "What people think is more important than what they do." Remember to exercise and believe in yourself for better sleep!
