Who is the study for?
This study is for undergraduate students aged 18-23 who usually exercise in the evening but are struggling with poor sleep quality. Participants should be interested in shifting their workout routine to the morning to see if it helps improve their sleep, mood, stress levels, and productivity.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether switching from evening to morning exercise can lead to better sleep (both quality and length), a more positive mood (less anxiety, depression, anger), less stress, and greater productivity among college students who don't sleep well.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical exercise as an intervention rather than medication or medical procedures, side effects may include typical post-exercise symptoms such as muscle soreness or fatigue.
