Exercise and Sleep: Body-Heating Effects

Effects of passive body heating on body temperature and sleep regulation in the elderly: a systematic review.

Insomnia in the elderly is associated with circadian body temperature changes. Manipulating body temperature prior to sleep onset may improve sleep quality in the elderly. This systematic review analyzed the effect of passive body heating on body temperature and sleep quality. Three studies related to passive body heating for the elderly identified from a computerized database search were evalu...

Exercise Effects on Sleep Physiology

This mini-review focuses on the effects of exercise on sleep. In its early days, sleep research largely focused on central nervous system (CNS) physiology using standardized tabulations of several sleep-specific landmark electroencephalogram (EEG) waveforms. Though coarse, this method has enabled the observation and inspection of numerous uninterrupted sleep phenomena. The research on the effec...

Effects of exercise on sleep.

We tested the hypothesis that EEG sleep stages 3 and 4 (slow-wave sleep, SWS) would be increased as a function of either acute of chronic exercise. Ten distance runners were matched with 10 nonrunners, and their sleep was recorded under both habitual (runners running and nonrunners not running, 3 night) and abruptly changed (runners not running and nonrunners running, 1 night) conditions. Analy...

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mind-body technique and exercise on sleep disorders and anxiety in patients with carcinoma. Methods: 30 volunteer patients with cancer (24 women, 6 men) were randomly divided into two control (15 people) and experimental (15 people) gr...
