Just Go to Bed EarlierIf you want to exercise more but can’t seem to do it, here’s a weird fix. Just go to bed earlier. A new study found people who go to bed early are more likely to get some exercise the next day. They tracked 20,000 people, and the ones who went to bed by 9:00 p.m. got around 30 more minutes of exercise the following day. The study found that when night owls made a conscious effort to go to bed earlier, the amount of exercise they got went up almost automatically.
