Summary

This study looks at whether doing moderate resistance exercises in the morning can improve sleep quality in young adults aged 18-35. Over 8 weeks, 64 participants with different sleep patterns (morning or evening types) will follow an online exercise program. Researchers will measure changes in sleep, mood, and daily rhythm to see if timing exercise to your natural body clock helps you sleep better.
