Does changing exercise time improve sleep in college students?
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether changing the time you exercise (from evening to morning) can help college students sleep better. You'll wear a small wrist monitor to track your sleep and activity, and either keep your usual evening exercise routine or switch to morning exercise for 4 weeks.
