Happy Wednesday, !

🤔😴🏃‍♂️Q: Does working out at night mess up my sleep?

Clients ask me this question all of the time, so I figured you may have this question, too.

✅ A: This is a tricky one. Here’s the answer: “it depends.”

Getting regular exercise can cut stress and anxiety … and make you feel tired, which can help improve sleep.

☀️🤸But for some people, working out within a couple of hours of bedtime can make it hard to fall asleep.

This can be caused by hormonal and body temperature fluctuations, especially if you work out intensely (like doing a hard cardio workout vs. light yoga or myofascial stretch).

Figuring out the best time for your own workouts can take a little experimentation to see how your body responds. Everyone’s a little different!

👉When is your favorite time of day to work out?

Have a fantastic day,
