If you're hunting for tips to help you sleep, or to tackle insomnia, regular physical activity could really help. But what's the best time of day to hit the gym? What are the pros and cons of evening vs. morning exercise?


Thanks to Myles Moore for this question, in response to my last post. I did experiment with evening exercise a few times this week, but the gym was intimidatingly busy, so I sloped off early .. a pragmatic reason to stick to an early morning routine.


If you have a taxing question about sleep, circadian rhythms or related topics, please let me know and I'll do my best to investigate. (Easy questions would be even better.)
