A WORKOUT won’t just give you tired muscles – researchers have found that it improves the quality of your sleep, even though most people won’t notice the difference it makes.
Researchers from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, used a computerised method to record brain signals to determine the depth of sleep.
Nine volunteers did a 60-minute workout and were then connected to the technology as they slept. The participants had deeper and more refreshing rest when they had exercised – although the volunteers reported no change.
Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, the researchers say their work may help develop new treatments for sleep disorders.
