(17) Research on the Correlation of Sleep and Exercise

For my research topic, I am planning on looking into the positive effects exercise can have on sleep, and how sleep then helps you recover from vigorous activity. This subject really interests me because I am an athlete. I know that sleep is an important part of my athletic performance, but now I want to be able to prove it.

I hope to learn many new things about the physical benefits of sleep. Maybe I will find some best practices for falling asleep and staying asleep. It would also be good to know which supplements are best absorbed at night. I've heard through the grapevine that fish oil should be taken before bed rather than in the morning because it is absorbed better at night. Now, I don't know if it is true or not, but I have blindly accepted it as fact in recent months and it would probably do me some good to find out the truth.

When it's all said and done, my goal is to be able to tell y'all how a workout can improve your sleep habits.
