18. Walking can help to improve your sleeping patterns
A lot of people go through periods where they struggle to sleep. However, if the problem persists, you may have insomnia. A lot of people think the only treatment you can get for insomnia is sleeping medication. This is not necessarily true. One of the first things your doctor will ask if you complain about insomnia is how much you exercise.
That’s because an exercise program is closely related to good sleep patterns. An ideal way to get your sleep patterns under control is to start walking. A study conducted among people who have chronic insomnia found that walking reduced the time it took them to fall asleep. It also lengthened the time they spent sleeping. Walking decreases anxiety which is often a factor in insomnia. The increase in body temperature and the cooling afterward can also promote sleep.
