Sleep and Exercise Timing
Patients come in asking for melatonin, GABA, magnesium. Meta-analysis of thousands of studies shows exercise outperforms supplements for sleep quality and duration.
The variable is timing. Morning exercise resets low cortisol rhythms. Afternoon movement after the post-lunch crash. Evening intensity for those already wired.
Exercise depletes ATP, raising adenosine in the brain — the neurological driver of deep sleep. It also stabilizes body temperature and primes sympathetic activation for faster sleep onset.
Rather than supplement stacking, map exercise timing, frequency, and intensity to the patient's sleep pattern. This single intervention often does more than the cabinet of pills.
