“Physically active” people were defined as having two or more one hours exercise sessions a week.

They were much more likely to be or become normal sleepers.

I’ve read the ideal time for exercise is about 4-5 hours before bedtime. Although, it probably helps to simply exercise.

I lift weights at least 3X a week, and still get the GD 0400 wake up and maybe get back to sleep thing.

Almost never sleep through that 0400 thing, unless I am dehydrated enough to not have to wake and piss.

I dunno...I average 5 days a week of exercise[ and often 6 days] and can’t sleep more than 3-4hrs a night, plus an afternoon laydown for an hour.

I don’t find this to be true. I’m 76 and struggle to get even 6 hours of sleep at night. I am very active doing yard work at least 5 days a week for 2 to 3 hours a day. Yesterday I cleaned my front flower beds, lugging 9 big bags of mulch across the yard, raking leaves, and digging holes for new shrubs. It took me 6 hours. I was wide awake at 11. Finally went to bed and woke up at 4am. Today I have to power wash my fence, finish planting my green beans, and spray the weeds in my back yard. Still won’t be able to sleep tonight.

Gulag-ers always slept well. So there’s a positive.

I’m at the gym a solid 2 hours 5 days a week, plus bike rides and heavy gardening

Still not sleeping well.

I run, I tire, I sleep.

Whether or not I’m physically active, I love to sleep. Ten hours a night works well, and for my cat too, who often sleeps with me. Two lazy girls.

For years now, I've been walking 1-2 hours a day outdoors. Every day. On inclement weather days, I go to the local shopping mall, where I walk both levels multiple times, often not even buying anything to the chagrin of the store owners.

When in New York City for work, on rainy or very cold days, I can walk for miles in the bowels of Grand Central or Penn Station. Once in a while, I'll walk all 10+ floors of Macy's in Herald Square, with their wooden escalators.

As a result, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow for a solid 7 hours - unless I get to bed late and the alarm wakes me first!
