The more you exercise, the more efficient the heart becomes at this process, so you can work out harder and longer. And, You will have a difficult time trying to fall asleep because of the increased heart rate. In fact, You should aim for 3-hours before going to bed if you want to workout at night.
2. Don’t Have Caffeine
Caffeine products like coffee, sodas with caffeine, pre-workouts, energy drinks, alcohol, or having too much water can reduce the amount of deep sleep that you enjoy. The effects of caffeine can occur even when you consume it earlier in the afternoon or evening. One study found that consuming caffeine 6 hours before bedtime reduced total sleep time by 1 hour. These effects also can be stronger in older adults. It takes their bodies a longer time to process caffeine.
