Healthy Monday Tip #49 ? Exercise and sleep better ? The Fitness ...

The Healthy Monday Campaign has designated Monday as the day to start and sustain healthy habits. Why Mondays? It?s the January of the week, the perfect time for a fresh start. By setting a day (Monday) every week for people to think about and focus on their own health and the health of their families, the campaign aims to change the public?s attitude on overall health.

Tip #49 ??SECURE SOME SLEEP

Regular physical activity at the right times may help you sleep better. People who exercise four days a week report improved sleep quality, longer sleep and less time falling asleep. That being said, the National Sleep Foundation recommends that you finish your workout at least 3 hours before you plan on going to bed.

Sleep soundly this week by adding exercise to your morning, afternoon or early evening. Track your progress by keeping a sleep journal and noting how you feel when you wake up in the morning.

The Monday Campaigns are a national movement that dedicates the first day of every week to health. These campaigns were started by a non-profit organization founded in 2005 in association with Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University and Syracuse University.
