Can running cure insomnia?

Sleeping conditions play an extremely important role in people's physical health. People with good sleep quality are often energetic, while people with poor sleep quality tend to be lethargic. Therefore, improving sleep quality is very important. However, there are many people suffering from insomnia among modern people, and they need some special methods to help them sleep. For example, can running cure insomnia? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Relaxing and enjoyable exercise is better than taking sedatives. Experts once conducted an experiment: 30 middle-aged and elderly people with insomnia were divided into three groups: Group A took sedative powder. Group B did not take any medication, but happily participated in some of their favorite sports and exercises. Group C, did not take medication and was forced to participate in some sports they disliked. As a result, Group B had the best insomnia treatment effect, while Group C had the worst effect.

1. Running status.

When we run, our body and mind are relaxed. It seems that the pressure has been left behind us, and as the mood goes up and down, the pressure gradually fades away from our minds. Without pressure, you have no worries and you can sleep well at night.

2. Running consumes energy.

Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to do during the day, but at night I am so full of energy that I can’t fall asleep at all. When we run, our energy will be consumed, so we will sleep well at night. Over time, good habits will be developed.

3. Strengthen physical fitness.

Insomnia may be neurasthenia, which is caused by lack of exercise and irregular life. Running can enhance physical fitness, help people fall asleep faster, and enter deep sleep more easily.

4. Avoid being too excited at night.

Being too excited before going to bed can also cause insomnia. As the saying goes, your body will feel tired after running, and when you feel tired, it will be easier to fall asleep.

When exercising, choose sports activities based on your personal interests. The main activities are aerobic sports, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, aerobics, rope skipping, shuttlecock kicking, gymnastics, mountain climbing and ball games. Young and healthy people can also choose high-intensity anaerobic exercises. For healthy adults, it is not necessary to exercise every day to achieve good results.
