There are people who choose to exercise before going to sleep to get better rest. But which practices are the most beneficial? In the opinion of the experts at the DIR center, we should rule out moderate to high intensity physical activity before bed, as it alters the nervous system and can hinder a good night’s sleep. “Exercise benefits us and it is good when it comes to falling asleep. But I recommend that if the physical activity is aerobic or medium to high intensity, try to do it at least three hours before bed so that the body has time to relax and then fall asleep properly. In my opinion, it is ideal to resort to stretching, limbs and trunk. Also breathing exercises, turning for the spine, because that will really help the body to stretch and relax the muscles to sleep better, ”said personal trainer Gemy Osorio Astorga, alma mater of Madrid’s Pilates Center and Movement.
