When you feel tired, worn out and stressed out, the last thing you may feel like doing is throwing on your workout clothes and heading to the fitness center. But many experts say this is exactly what you should do. These three factors are often present simultaneously. Stress makes sleep more difficult for many people. They feel restless, have difficulty falling asleep and waken during the night worrying about problems.
Inadequate sleep makes people tired.
Tired people may work less efficiently, feel more stressed, and lack the time and energy to exercise. A lack of exercise, in turn, increases feelings of stress and worsens sleep quality. Add exercise to this picture and the reverse is true. A good workout leaves your muscles relaxed and your spirit energized. The stress is still there, but it is less likely to get under your skin.
