Sleep is very important for your health and physical and mental performance. Active people have better, deeper, uninterrupted sleep. They usually need less sleep, because quality of their sleep is much better than the sleep of inactive people.
Inactivity causes bad sleep. Bad sleep causes obesity and decreased immunity system. Every vital function in your body slows down, causing you to get old fast.
Sedentary people have interrupted, not deep enough sleep, that makes them tired the next day. When they are tired, they don’t exercise. And the fallowing night, they don’t sleep well again, and so on.
Don’t let that happen to you. Be active. You don’t have to run 10 K right away. Start slowly and increase intensity and distance overtime. Go for a walk today. You will sleep better. Guaranteed. Than you will feel better next day. And you can go for faster, longer walk, and so on.
You really need a better sleep. It is seriously important for a good life. Get active. Strength train and do your cardiovascular exercise regularly and reap one of the great benefits of being physically active - great sleep.

To be active day in and day out means to have more energy for everything.
It’s mostly those fit people who tell you after exhausting hike, all day skiing or intensive tennis or soccer game : What are we doing tonight? Where are we going next? Do you want to go dancing tonight?
You think : Aren’t you suppose to be tired by now after all that you did today and just go sleep or watch TV?
Yes, those fit, active people are restless. Their bodies recover faster from hard physical activity and they want more. Their bodies work more efficiently.
And that’s why they stay active all the time. They don’t get fat. They don’t get sick. Their bodies work like a well oiled machine. They burn like a perfect roman candle.
If you are inactive, you are missing a big part of fun time in life. You don’t have enough energy to enjoy certain activities and you don’t have enough energy to do more things.
You need to exercise intensively at least 30 minutes 4 – 6 times per week doing strength, endurance and flexibility exercises for more energy.

Inactivity affects just about everything: brain, heart, blood vessels, bones, liver, gut, sleep, anxiety, mood, self esteem, and your body’s ability to process sugar.
Inactivity leads to excess abdominal fat.
One third of cancers of the colon, kidney, and digestive tract are caused by being inactive.
Being inactive causes diabetes and diabetes causes impotence, blindness, heart attacks, strokes, amputations and death.
Inactive people have poor sleep – they drag through their day sluggish and tired. Their bodies crave some quick energy, so they snack on some high-calorie junk food. That extra junk food leads to more fat, which leads to……you get the picture.
You have to be active if you want to stay healthy and alive. Being active equals great life.
