    Tldr if you’re not opening the article, the study doesn’t specifically prescribe an amount of exercise, just that people who consistently exercise (and continue to consistently exercise) get better sleep. Consistent exercise is defined as 2+ times per week, for (an assumed weekly sum of) 1+ hours.

      I’ve been seeing more and more of these click bait article that no longer answer the click bait question.

      Feels like the result of AI generated content, except feeding the title into chatGPT results in a more succinct answer with the same wishwashy unspecified value.

      The article is padded with the typical fluff to add authority.

      Prompt: “How often do sleep scientists say to exercise to avoid insomnia”

      ChatGPT 3.5: “Sleep scientists generally recommend getting regular exercise to help prevent insomnia. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine suggests aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week, spread throughout the week. This equates to about 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. However, it’s essential to find a routine that works for you and to avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime, as it may interfere with sleep.”

        It’s annoying, because good clickbait articles are guilty pleasure of mine. Stuff like Cracked.com articles back in the day. I agree that this kind of article is becoming more prevalent. At least when I waffle, it’s me trying to capture something that feels complex, rather than just padding out a simple thing
