Many people are often encouraged to improve their overall health when aiming to prevent cardiovascular disease. While nutrition and exercise are commonly emphasized, one crucial aspect that’s often overlooked is the importance of sleep. In fact, increased physical activity can lead to better sleep quality, which in turn enhances overall well-being.
To help with this, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) Adviser has created a resource titled How Does Exercise Affect Sleep?. This guide covers:
- The role of deep sleep in physical recovery, immune function, and cognitive health
- The interconnectedness of stress, sleep, and exercise
- The unique exercise and sleep needs of older adults
By understanding the relationship between exercise, sleep, and health, individuals—especially older adults—can take meaningful steps toward improving their overall well-being and quality of life.
