Answer: Evening exercise
Clues: “Sunset” and “Squats”
A study found that doing some light exercise before bed can help you sleep in longer the next day.
All you have to do is pick some simple moves like chair squats, calf raises and standing knee lifts, and do them every 30 minutes for four hours before bed.
On average, participants in the study who moved around in the evening slept 27 minutes more than when they stayed glued to the couch. They went to bed at the same time but woke up later.
Each mini-set should only last three minutes. So, only 24 minutes total. You should avoid heavy exercise before bed, because it can raise your body temperature and heart rate, so keep it light!
The exercises were designed so you can do them in your living room without missing your favorite show. Even walking around the house or dancing counts. Any movement is better than just sitting on your couch.
So, if you’re looking to snooze a little longer, a few squats before bed might do the trick.
