A simple way to improve your sleep quality is to combine a 30-60 minute walk in the evening, about 1 hour after the last meal of the day.
Ideally, an evening walk should end about 45 minutes before bed, at the latest 15 minutes.
Walking at any time of the day can support digestion, circulation, immune function and cardiovascular health. All of these are beneficial for our sleep and overall health.
An additional benefit of evening walking is that it helps the brain produce melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy and is essential for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin levels naturally increase when light levels decrease.
The results of each individual will be different when applying the evening walking habit. You can improve your sleep quality even on the first night of this habit and it will improve over time. When we sleep better, we feel healthier.
