We all at some point of time in our life feel the need to work out, whether it be for getting stronger, more muscle mass, getting in shape or just losing fat. So we tend to chose different plans for different benefits. We are at peak energy during the afternoon; therefore afternoon can be a great time to put in the heavy and sweaty work outs!! Morning times are usually preferred as we all are relatively fresh at that time. Working out before bed time is also possible, but it does not afford any additional advantage.

Working Out Before Bed, Is It Okay?

Many researches have shown that work out before bed time can actually give you a better quality of sleep throughout the night!! Plus a little physical stress can get your muscles toned which would get rest they deserve in time. So it might be good for your muscle recovery.

Results quality sleep?

Research indicates that working out before bed may result in a better quality sleep for a person. The findings from the survey point out that those who performed vigorous work out before bed had much better sleep on all days of the week. Also another good thing that was observed that this group also reported much less day time drowsiness than other groups of respondents. The report found that doing exercise before going to bed is beneficial but it should not be done at the cost of reducing sleep time. Of course we need to sleep well!!

How is this possible?

Now you must be wondering what else other than fatigue would trigger a good sleep? This happens because exercise triggers our body’s cooling mechanism which is also linked with sleep. We sleep well when our body temperature is relatively low. To summarise, exercise makes us serene and calm which in turn helps us in sleeping.

When Is the Best Time for Working Out?

The best excuse humans could come up for not working out was "I don’t have time for it!!" Guys, you have time, just have a will to do it!! Those who exercise usually prefer to do it in morning hours. But it is late afternoon to early evening hours that are best ones to exercise, as our body muscles, lungs and all other organs are working at their best at this point of time. Hereby delivering maximum performance and best results.

Tips for Better Workout

1. Don‘t be hesitant to workout at any point of time of the day. Working out at any point in a day is much better than not exercising at all. So this deletes the excuse of being unable to reschedule. This is why you should not feel anxious in rescheduling a work out to late evening when you are busy completing all the work or attending meeting.

2. Cool down of our body is as important as working out. So we have to give enough time to let the muscles cool down and for this purpose you should finish working out 3 hours before sleeping.

3. A workout can makeyour body temperature rise significantly (it makes you Hot!!) 

You need to cool down then!! Having a quick bath for around 3-4 minutes after working out can reduce your body temperature significantly.

4. It is recommended that you cool down slowly after a workout. This ensures that your muscles are toned properly and reduce chances of muscle injury. 

As we know that our body doesn’t take abrupt temperature changes in a good way, avoid a shower immediately after exercise or even jumping in front of ac for that matter.

5. As we are through with the discussion that we can work out before sleeping, but it is preferred not to use bedroom for work outs.

6. If you work out before bed time, it is necessary that you lower your adrenaline level in your body. This would help you in sleeping properly. For the purpose, meditation or taking long breaths can help you in getting a better sleep.
