So it\u2019s essentially a situational thing that varies from person to person.<\/p>\n<p>Some think that this can be attributed to the sunlight and the subsequent vitamin D that cyclists soak up while riding. \u00a0The sunlight we have in our lives helps to keep our body clock in check and on a regular rhythm, while also lowering levels of cortisol in the body, therefore supporting deeper, more regenerative sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The vitamin D in the sunlight also promotes the production of the same vitamin in the body, and this is proven to improve mood, studies published from Zayed University&#8217;s college of sustainability sciences and humanities state.<\/p>\n<p>For more useful information on sleep, check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepadvisor.org\/sleep-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">54 shocking sleep statistics!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/science-cycling-boosts-brain-function\/\">Science Shows 5 Ways that Cycling Boosts Brain Function<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/7-of-the-best-fitness-trackers-for-cyclists-to-track-bike-rides-2020\">7 of the Best Fitness Trackers for Cyclists<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/7-of-the-best-fitness-trackers-for-cyclists-to-track-bike-rides-2020<\/p>\n<h2>How Cycling Helps You to Sleep Better<\/h2>\n<p>Having good brain health is essential. How does this relate to sleep, you might wonder? Well, it goes like this; Researchers working at Illinois University discovered that those who took part in their research performed a substantial 15% better in mental testing when their cardio-respiratory fitness was improved by 5% through cycling.<\/p>\n<p>They put this down to the fact that exercise aids your brain\u2019s hippocampus area \u2013 the region accountable for memory &#8211; to produce new cells.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you have ever been kept up at night trying to remember the appointment you think you have tomorrow, or you\u2019re not sure if you did that thing you were meant to at work yesterday, then avoid the anxiety of not remembering. This causes stress, and<a href=\"https:\/\/psychcentral.com\/blog\/our-brain-on-stress-forgetful-emotional\/\"> stress causes forgetfulness<\/a>, meaning you\u2019ll get stuck in a vicious cycle when all you have to do is go for a bike ride instead!<\/p>\n<h3>Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/cycling-sleep-health-2\/\">How Cycling Helps You to Sleep Better and Get Healthier<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Related Post:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/complete-bike-training-plan-for-cyclists\/\">Complete Bike Training Plan<\/a><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"5qWP1XHaEc\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/complete-bike-training-plan-for-cyclists\/\">How to Get Bike Fit: Complete Bike Training Plan<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to Get Bike Fit: Complete Bike Training Plan&#8221; &#8212; Average Joe Cyclist\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/complete-bike-training-plan-for-cyclists\/embed\/#?secret=TLzF4lkyuQ#?secret=5qWP1XHaEc\" data-secret=\"5qWP1XHaEc\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Heart Health and Cycling<\/h2>\n<p>Moving on to the next major area of the body that you\u2019ve all heard of we\u2019re sure!<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health-topics\/sleep-deprivation-and-deficiency\"> Heart health is massively important for your sleep<\/a> because continuous lack of sleep has been linked to a heightened risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence published by Purdue University found that cycling has the potential to lower a person\u2019s risk of suffering heart disease by HALF if maintained regularly.
