so i have a question what is better for sleep  exercise or physical work like yard work cleaning  

you know building something fixing something  remodeling something or just your job where  

you’re using your physical body i’m not talking  about sitting behind a desk of course but actual  

physical work what is better for sleep what do you  think personally i think physical work is probably  

10 times better for your sleep and reducing stress  than actual an exercise that you would do at the  

gym or even at home so let’s first take a look  at the similarities both increase oxygen increase  

muscle activity can increase your endurance  can decrease stress but with exercise it’s very  

predictive it’s very structured it’s repetitive  it’s a really focused intentional motion activity  

where you’re normally working symmetrical muscles  so you might start off with the left side and  

do the right side or both at the same time but  for physical work it’s not really predicted  

or structured it’s very asymmetrical which is in  some ways actually very very good plus your mental  

focus is a lot different you’re not concentrated  just on your body you’re focused on something  

else and so for mental health and for mental  reduction of stress physical work is way better  

than exercise because you’re getting more of  your attention out of your head onto other things  

not just necessarily doing a bicep curl or a  bench press now i think both is important but  

if you want to sleep better i would highly  recommend doing more physical work and you  

can actually simulate physical work with  exercise but when you’re doing physical  

work you are using usually your whole body and  you can actually get very very sore even though  

it might not think you’re doing much if you have  problems sleeping i challenge you to do at least  

one to two hours of physical work around the house  and just see if you don’t just sleep a lot better  

hey before you go real quick i have a course  entitled how to bulletproof your immune system  

it’s a free course i want you to take it and  here’s why here’s you here is your environment

everyone is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
