Bedtime,…
Many people aren’t getting the recommended eight hours of sleep every night, which is in turn affecting everything from memory function to emotional well-being. In fact, according to recent data from Stats Canada, approximately half of Canadians have decreased their sleep hours in attempt to meet demands from work, family and society. Luckily, research is showing that even moderate amounts of physical activity can improve sleep quality and quantity. The Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute (CFLRI) recommends exercising at least two to three hours before bedtime as to give your body a chance to recover, and to not overdo it. 30 minutes of walking or a strength training workout is enough to get your body in gear for a goods night’s rest, a healthier body and a clearer mind.
