For the last couple years, I was working around 10 hours a day and did absolutely no exercise. It took me sometimes up to one hour to fell asleep, probably because of that.

Now I started going to the gym again, 3-4 times a week for one hour, doing light exercise to compensate all the hours sleeping. As a result, my back no longer hurts, I sleep better and feel a lot more focused in what I'm doing.




Thanks for sharing that, it's really good to hear I'm not the only one. Gladly, this is something I've just noticed in the last two weeks and I think I can turn things around pretty fast now if I just fit in the exercise.

Good to hear that 3-4 times a week works well, as I am just deciding how much exercise I need to aim for. I've had periods in the last where I've consistently been going to the gym 3-4 times a week and I remember having no issues with sleep, so I'm going to aim for that too.
