First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a single evening yoga session can improve sleep and heart health in adults aged 18–40, both those with insomnia and healthy sleepers. Participants will try a moderate-intensity vinyasa yoga session, a gentle yoga session, and a quiet rest period on separate evenings. Their sleep and heart rate variability are measured overnight to see which approach works best.
