- Small study suggests resistance exercise ‘activity breaks’ at night may improve sleep length
- Researchers found that 3-minute breaks every 30 minutes over 4 hours increased sleep duration
- Regular activity breaks did not disrupt subsequent sleep, according to the findings
- Participants who did resistance exercises slept for an additional 27 minutes on average compared to prolonged sitting
- Evening exercise may be beneficial for sleep quality and cardiometabolic health, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.
