Aviv Lugtenaar Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey, a friend just asked me if it is ok to do exercises before going to bed. And that question also interests me abit cause before the summer holidays, for about 2 weeks in a row, I did half an hour of exercises before goign to bed. I felt ok, although I started waking up earlyer in the morning( which isn´t is a prob to me seeing it´s hard for me to get out of bed before 9 am :oops: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindx Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I usually exercise then eat then sleep or something along those lines.I don't see why not unless you're a person who's nervous system gets amped up so they can't get to sleep soon after they've worked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nothing better in the world than a challenging work out, then taking a warm/cold shower and getting in bed. Most destressing and restful sleep ever.Regards,Nick DeFreitas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 For the most part, I exercise at night, and stretch before I go to sleep. My idea has always been that if I am going to be fatigued, it is better to be tired when I'm doing nothing. Sleep certainly doesn't mind you being tired.

Aviv Lugtenaar Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Do you notice if it effects your sleep? Not that I mind, but as I wrote in my first post I start waking up earlyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The only time I can recall something affecting my sleep was when I was sore or injured (football hits). You know, when it hurts to lay down. On a daily basis, I can't say exercise significantly affects me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sanders Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Can exercise before sleep really help one sleep better. School is about to start and I never like sleeping early because I would never be able to fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 It can but it can keep you awake as well. It depends on how strenuous it is. A typical gymnastics workout won't unless I condition really hard. I've fallen asleep during rest periods before, not for very long mind you but longer than 5 minutes. It's kinda icky going to bed all sweaty and stinky though. Definitely gotta wash the sheets and all if you do the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Shocking, revolutionary idea. Be wary, we may brand you a heretic for daring to say that. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sanders Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Actually I have found that a light strenuous work done before going to sleep helps me sleep better rather than trying hard to relax and fall asleep. A great way to do this is practice your handstand. I have been practicing handstands nonstop throughout the day long after my actually workout. It's a great way to help you go to sleep and a great way to build up your handstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
