Abstract:
Regular exercise provides a variety of health benefits, including enhanced sleep quality and reduced symptoms of sleep disorders. The complex interaction between sleep and physical activity involves various physiological and psychological processes. Exercise has a positive effect on sleep, but factors such as age, sex, and fitness level, and specific exercise aspects such as intensity, duration, and timing play crucial roles. Understanding these dynamic interactions is essential to gaining insight into how exercise benefits sleep in both healthy individuals and those with sleep disorders. Given the positive effects of moderate exercise on sleep and its potential as a therapeutic option, this narrative review highlights the extensive benefits of exercise on sleep and underscores its important role in overall health and wellness.
