Abstract in brief

This systematic review analyzed previous meta-analyses on how exercise impacts sleep in adults, including a new meta-analysis of studies within those meta-analyses, and found that exercise can significantly improve sleep quality, sleep latency, and sleep-related breathing issues.
The quality of the included meta-analyses varied, and the evidence ranged from very low to low, but the results showed statistically significant benefits, with some improvements seen in sleep metrics and relatively low numbers needed to treat.
To better understand and promote exercise as a sleep aid, researchers suggest that a larger, more comprehensive, and well-designed meta-analysis is necessary to strengthen the current evidence and support public health strategies.]
