Abstract in brief

  • The study reviewed 15 research articles to examine whether physical activity, mainly treadmill exercise, can improve sleep in people with insomnia, using tools like polysomnography and actigraphy for objective sleep measurement.
  • Results showed that most studies found physical activity had a positive impact on sleep, especially by increasing sleep efficiency and reducing sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and sometimes total sleep time.
  • Using objective sleep assessments can help confirm and support individuals' subjective sleep complaints and help evaluate how effective physical activity interventions are for improving sleep in those with insomnia.]
