Morning Yoga Boosts Sleep and Mood
9 Apr
Summary
- Morning yoga may enhance sleep and lifestyle habits.
- Study explored yoga timing's impact on quality of life.
- Circadian rhythm's role in yoga practice timing is key.
Early morning yoga sessions appear to provide superior benefits for sleep quality, mental well-being, and lifestyle habits in young adults when contrasted with evening practice.
This finding emerged from a recent randomized controlled trial conducted by researchers from NIMHANS-Bengaluru, Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (SVYASA), and the Central University of Rajasthan. The research, published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, delved into how the specific timing of yoga practice affects an individual's overall quality of life.
The study examined crucial aspects such as sleep patterns, psychological health, and daily lifestyle behaviors. While yoga's holistic benefits are widely acknowledged, the influence of practice timing, particularly in relation to the body's natural circadian rhythms, has been a less explored area until now.
