Have you found yourself in a predicament where you stayed up too late, got only a few hours of sleep, woke up groggy and went half asleep to the gym? But what is actually good for you – is it sleep or exercise? Both, actually! Sleep and exercise are key components of a healthy lifestyle. You can’t choose between sleep or exercise, as you need both. Slacking on either one of them can affect the other.
What Happens When You Sleep Late and Wake Up Early?
Due to minimal sleep, your circadian rhythms shifts. This means you’re “exercising during your biological night” when you should still be sleeping and that’s counterproductive. Your muscle cells, which also have circadian rhythms, recover and perform better during your body’s biological daytime than they do during the biological night.
Obviously, working out when your whole body is awake is crucial when it comes to your muscles and getting a proper amount of sleep also helps prevent injuries during exercises. In fact, a lack of sleep can weaken your immune system (which prevents you from working out) and can also lead to weight gain and health issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, i.e. precisely what exercise aims to prevent. But on the flipside, regular exercise promotes more restful sleep. So, working out at the right time can actually bank you some quality shut-eye rather than curb it.
How To Sleep Better For Better Exercise?
Whether you need to set an earlier bedtime or find a different window for working out, make sure you’re not putting yourself in the position to decide between these two titan pillars of wellness. Consider revolutionizing your to-do-list routine in a way that makes you happier to achieve these goals.
Stay away from heavy and oily foods before bed for better sleep. Also, keep away from electronics an hour before you go to bed as the back-light from your cellphones can affect your sleep. Try to be as comfortable as possible, which means wear loose clothing and keep yourself warm.

totally agree on the sleep part, sleep is the most important factor.
Both sleep and exercise are equally important for a healthy lifestyle. Your home and surrounding should also be clean as when your environment is clean you feel more happy, motivated and healthy. For regular cleaning, many tools including vacuum cleaners are available that make the cleaning task much easier for you. I am sure you would agree with me.
Good sleep better exercise. Good exercise better sleep. But good sleep allows you to squeeze in intermittent exercises during day.
It is very important to exercise regularly. There are many health benefits to doing sports. Thank you for sharing this useful information on the right role models.
Good sleep is necessary for optimal health and can affect hormone levels, mood and weight.
