Functioning at your best in both your personal and professional life requires being well-rested, but that can be challenging for anyone with sleep apnea. The good news is that effective treatment such as oral appliance therapy combined with good lifestyle choices such as exercise can make a big difference. However, when it comes to exercise, it turns out that when<\/strong><\/em> you do it is more important than you may have realized. If you suffer from sleep apnea in Lutz, keep reading to find out whether it\u2019s more beneficial to get some extra ZZZ\u2019s in the morning or wake up and exercise instead. You may be surprised at the answer! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Exercising In the Morning vs. the Evening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In regards to sleep apnea, many of the benefits of\nexercising have to do with the effects on your blood pressure. People with\nsleep apnea don\u2019t always have the natural drop in blood pressure at night that\nthey should, but exercise is a great way to counteract this (at least\nsomewhat).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the best time of day, researchers have found that a\nnormal cardio session in the morning leads to better sleep, as opposed to the\nmiddle of the day or evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you\u2019re planning a particularly vigorous workout\nsuch as a high-intensity interval session, you might find that doing it 2-3\nhours before bed can help you fall sleep. Studies show that people are\ndifferent in this regard, so if you like intense workouts, experiment to see what\ntime of day works best or simply switch it up throughout the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might also interest you to learn that weight training at\nany time of day will contribute to a deeper, more restful night of sleep, so be\nsure to incorporate it into your routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should You Sleep In Instead of Exercising? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems like sleeping in would be a better strategy for\nmanaging sleep apnea, but if it keeps you from exercising in the morning, it\u2019s\nactually not a good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more active you are, the better you\u2019ll sleep at night,\nso it\u2019s helpful to stick to a regular bedtime that allows you to wake up and\nfit in a morning workout. Establishing a consistent cycle of sleeping and\nexercising can be an incredibly effective addition to your sleep\napnea treatment<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep apnea can affect your health in multiple ways. But, with\nthe right treatment and an active lifestyle, you\u2019ll get the high-quality sleep\nyou need to live your best life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
