More Exercise Could Make for Better Sleep

A recent study led by researchers at Oregon State University examined statistics from a U.S Health Survey conducted from 2005 – 2006. The researchers focused on more than 2,600 men and women aged 18-85 that had their physical activities measured and answered questions about sleep. From their measurements the scientists determined that those who met their recommended daily exercise requirements were 65% and less likely to report feeling sleepy during the day compared to those who did not. Also, the people studied were also 68% less likely to report occasional leg cramps and 45% less likely to report having trouble concentrating while tired.
