No cardio in evening= better sleep

I was having the hardest time sleeping. I noticed on my FitBit sleep tracking that when I exercised/ did cardio after a certain time in the evening my restless/awake cycle went up drastically. I am still struggling with not wanting to jump out the door and go for a walk in the evening, but now that I don't do the cardio or walking at that time I noticed my restless/awake cycle is going down somewhat. I don't know if it will work for anyone else, but it's worth putting out there. Good sleeping everyone!

Very interesting. I've been trying to figure out my poor sleep issues.

How long and how consistent has this been for you?

It's been pretty consistent for about 3 weeks. Not long, I know, but as a person with sleep issues, it's made a world of differance. I've also cut back on my coffee (none after 1pm). I hope this has helped.

Hey there @SunsetRunner, that's very interesting! For me it works the opposite way 😞  If I don't workout in the evening I can't sleep well.  Buuut I found out that I don't need much, with a 30-min walk I'll be good 🙂

 

See you around! 😄

Thank you for your input @GisselleM! ☺ I guess everyone has to find what works for them.

Good to know @SunsetRunner. I wouldn't imagine this could affect your dream. Thanks for sharing. Robot wink

You are 100% correct. Exercise heats your body temperature up- it is normal and expected, which can then keep you awake and releases chemicals in the body and brain which stops you sleeping. Also stops you from calming down and relaxing, that’s why you have a lots of energy after exercising. Provably about 20-30 min after.
