Sleep Can Enhance Physical Activity

A lack of sleep can cause daytime fatigue, making you less likely and less motivated to exercise.

In addition, you’re more likely to get tired earlier during physical activity 

A study done on 15 men found that when participants were sleep-deprived, the amount and intensity of their physical activity decreased 

The good news is that getting more sleep may help improve your athletic performance.

In one study, college basketball players were asked to spend 10 hours in bed each night for five to seven weeks. They became faster, their reaction times improved, their accuracy increased and their fatigue levels decreased

SUMMARY:

Lack of sleep may decrease your exercise motivation, quantity and intensity. Getting more sleep may even help improve performance.
