Today I just bought a membership card at a Gym club and went there in the evening. I played Tai Chi and Plate. It was nearly two hours long. After 8 pm local time I came back home. Now I can not fall asleep. I felt there were three rabbits jumping inside of my skin. I don’t think playing sports in the evening would affect one’s sleep if he /she is a normal person. So I blame the schizo mind which is fed with too much antipsychotics.
Some experts say vigorous exercise before bed will keep you up. Other experts say it’s okay. I would just play it by ear and see what is right for you.
Well, it arouses the brain, so it might make schizophrenia worse for a bit. For me, I have to exercise in the mornings to function that day. I wake up agitated and angry.
You and =I= can exercise three hours before bed time and be okay. But most people with sz cannot because their autonomic nervous systems are too far out of balance, even when medicated.
