Here’s Why The Market Thinks So—Even Though Trump’s Called It A ‘Scam.’Body weight workouts in the evening may be linked to around 30 more minutes of sleep at night and without increasing sleep interruptions, a new study suggests, the newest evidence in the long debate about the relationship between evening exercise and sleep.

Prior to the study, 21% of the 30 participants—who were between the ages of 19 and 39 and mainly women—slept fewer than seven hours a night, 4% slept more than nine hours and the rest slept seven hours, which is the optimal amount of sleep. The participants completed three-minute exercise breaks every 30 minutes over a period of four hours starting between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., and the exercises included body weight resistance training like chair squats and calf raises; the control group sat for four hours.

The researchers found the participants who had evening exercise breaks slept for an average of 27 minutes longer than those a part of the control group who were sedentary for four hours. There were also no significant differences in uninterrupted sleep between the two groups, indicating evening resistance training doesn’t cause sleep interruptions, according to the study.We’re launching text message alerts so you'll always know the biggest stories shaping the day’s headlines.
