Exercise and sleep together are the bedrock of good health in some ways because one of the first things I recommend to somebody who is dissatisfied with their quality of sleep is I ask them, ‘Hey are you getting enough exercise, are you getting enough exercise every day? Are you getting a minimum of 45 minutes of aerobic exercise?’ I don’t have too many people who say yes to all these questions actually having difficulty sleeping. I have a teenage boy. He’s a swimmer. It’s wonderful because he’s too tired to get in trouble and he goes to sleep like a rock about anywhere he can. It really is important and it’s one of the first steps you can do on your own without coming to the doctor’s office without paying me co-pay, just go out and really get a good workout and I do mean 45 minutes. You will be amazed at how much better you sleep that night.
