| Research Abstract |
Many studies have pointed out a methodological limitation that good sleepers have little room to achieve improvement in sleep by exercise. So, this study was designed to examine the effects of exercise on sleep for male college students who do not sleep well. We compared their sleep parameters obtained by actigraph between the exercise day and the non-exercise day. Results obtained in their respective homes (n=7) as well as in the laboratory (n=7) showed positive effects on sleep (increase in sleep efficiency) on the exercise day for people who do not sleep well. We have failed to show the most suitable length of time before sleep to exercise in order to improve their sleep. However, our results indicate that a bout of exercise performed in the early evening (18:20-21:00) might improve sleep for young people who do not sleep well.
