A study of 28 million days of health data reveals that fewer than 13% of individuals consistently meet both sleep and physical activity guidelines, suggesting that high-quality sleep is a primary driver of next-day movement. The findings indicate that prioritizing sleep may be a more effective strategy for increasing daily activity than the reverse.
In reality, healthy sleep is cyclic across the night, as you move in and out of the different stages of sleep, often waking up several times.
