Exercise before going to bed
Currently, there are no studies or observations showing that exercising at night or before going to bed is harmful to health.
If you exercise in the evening or before going to bed, you need to choose gentle exercises that are suitable for your health.
According to a study on Healthline, moderate-intensity exercise for 60-90 minutes before bed does not affect your sleep.
