STUDY REVEALS THAT LOW-COST ACTIVITIES SUCH AS YOGA, TAI CHI, JOGGING AND WALKING ARE THE BEST WAYS TO TACKLE THE DISORDER
-
OGA, tai chi, jogging and walking could be the best forms of exercise to help tackle the sleep disorder insomnia, a study suggests.
These workouts are “well-suited” to be recommended to patients due to their low cost and minimal side-effects, researchers said.
People with insomnia regularly have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or wake several times during the night.
It can cause people to have difficulty concentrating or to be tired and irritable during the day.
To explore the effectiveness of different workouts on sleep quality and insomnia, researchers in China analysed 22 trials.
The review included 1,348 patients and 13 different measures to boost sleep, including seven exercises - yoga; tai chi; walking or jogging; aerobic plus strength exercise; strength training alone; aerobic exercise combined with therapy; and mixed aerobic exercises.
