Doing quick, easy exercises at night — even while watching TV — can help you sleep better, new study finds

A new study finds that doing quick and easy exercises at night, even while watching TV, can improve sleep quality. Contrary to the belief that nighttime exercise disrupts sleep, researchers found that light physical activity, like stretching or low-impact workouts, can help people fall asleep faster and experience deeper, more restorative sleep. This study suggests that incorporating brief, enjoyable exercises into your evening routine can be a simple yet effective way to enhance sleep, supporting overall health and well-being.

Researchers found that the study participants slept for 30 minutes longer after they did exercise breaks vs. when they just sat for four hours straight.
