In general, all of us need more sleep than we tend to get. We could also use a better quality of sleep. Strength training can help!
The People Who Do Studies have found that strength training reduces the prevalence of insomnia. (OK, it’s not a surprise that when we make ourselves really tired, it’s easier to sleep, but it’s good to have our common sense validated by science.)
But strength training also increases the proportion of good sleep we get. I know I’m not alone in having the occasional night where technically I got plenty of sleep, but I’m still tired and I wake up feeling like I was wrestling alligators all night. There’s less of that when we strength train regularly.
Work hard, sleep better!
