Frequently Asked Questions
How much exercise do I need for better sleep?
Two vigorous exercise days a week, or three moderate exercise days will be optimal to dissipate physical stress. However, even walking outdoors daily for 30 minutes can provide benefits with circulation improvement and oxygen intake.
Why does sunlight help me sleep better?
Safe exposure to direct sunlight for at least 30 minutes a day/ 3 days a week helps your body generate vitamin D, which gets converted into D3. Vitamin D3 is important in creating serotonin (a stress management hormone that helps you prepare for sleep) and communication between sleep supporting neurons.
Is it bad to nap?
Napping is great when it doesn’t go past 20 minutes or is too close to bedtime. Any longer than that could trick your brain into thinking it’s going through a deep sleep cycle, which may negatively impact your sleep later.
