Can too much exercise cause insomnia?
offers new insight into why certain people are more likely to experience sleep disorders than others. A possibility, according to the authors of the research, is that extremely low and extremely high levels of daily physical activity, especially occupational-related physical activity, negatively impacts sleep quality and psychological well-being.
“The present study was aimed at elucidating the link between different levels and types of physical activity and sleep,” comment the authors, led by Elena Dubinina of Herzen State Pedagogical University in Saint Petersburg, Russia. “We found that having a high physical load six or more times a week is a risk factor for having insomnia symptoms, in particularly, sleep-onset difficulties.”
This is consistent with other research showing how too much exercise can interfere with a person's ability to maintain a healthy sleep routine. For instance, one study on over 9000 adults from five different countries found that both very low and very high levels of physical activity were associated with an increased risk of insomnia.
To arrive at this result, the authors conducted structured interviews on over 4,800 Russian adults from three regions of Russia: Saint-Petersburg, Samara, and Orenburg. In the interview, they asked participants to report the type and frequency of physical activity they were doing at work and for leisure. They also asked participants to report the following measures of sleep quality: sleep duration, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, daytime sleepiness, and medication use.
They found that among participants who did not indicate some disease as a barrier to intensive physical activity, 27% of participants indicated having a high physical load less than one time a week, 38% had a high physical load one or two times a week, 27% had a high physical load three to five times a week, and 8% had a high physical load six or seven times a week.
