What I read: Want to Be More Active Every Day? Try Going to Bed Earlier, Study Says
New research shows that earlier bedtimes are linked to higher levels of physical activity—independent of how long you sleep.
My two cents: I love good habits that build on each other, virtuous cycles. And I’ve always known that being being well rested helps with athletic performance, and that physical activity helps with a better night’s sleep. But I didn’t know that it matters when you sleep. Going to bed early is correlated with higher than normal next day physical activity.
The study itself is here.
What do my sporty night owl friends have to say about this? Here’s looking at you Catherine Womack!
