Ejercicio para el sueño (cruzado con Actividad Física)
LowConditionalin favorRecommendation: Se sugiere el ejercicio para mejorar el sueño.
Rationale
Intervening with exercise improves sleep quality and reduces the severity of insomnia, with a benefit that adds to that of the physical activity pillar. The certainty of the evidence for the critical outcomes is low. That is why the recommendation is conditional in favor: the balance between benefits and risks turns out favorable, though with lower certainty.
Cautions and contraindications
Before intervening on sleep, assess the patient's habits, context, and treatments, and rule out sleep disorders that require specific study and management, such as obstructive apnea and restless legs syndrome. Use medications for sleeping with caution and in a limited way, prioritizing behavioral measures. Advise seeking professional evaluation in the presence of warning signs such as dangerous daytime sleepiness, snoring with breathing pauses, and persistent insomnia that does not improve, and refer to the specialist when appropriate. Reassess the response periodically.
