Would it be more benificial to sleep for an extra half an hour in the morning or do pilates?

Question

I work in a cut flower nursery and work VERY hard, I start work at 7am and usually get up at 6:15am.

I was wondering if I should get up half an hour early and do my pilates dvd or should I take the extra half an hour of sleep? I eat well and get heaps of excrcise at work, I just dont want to burn myself out by getting less sleep.

Im not sure which way to go, im tired at the end of the day as it is!

I go to bed between 9:30pm and 10pm and I never hear my alarm!

Answer 1

It partly depends on what time you go to sleep. If you are already getting 8 hours of sleep a night then by all means wake up earlier and get some exercise. You will find after a short time you will have more energy thoughout the day and will probably be less tired at the end of your work day. Newer more comprehensive studies have shown that you shouldn't really get more than 7 1/2 hours of sleep anyways. 8 hours of sleep is excessive and can actually shorten your life. If you're only sleeping 6 to 7 hours a night then definately don't skip sleep to exercise you'll wear yourself out and possibly injur yourself after a while.

Answer 2

Sleep.

Answer 3

this depends on how late you go to bed. exercise in the morning is will get you energized for the rest of the day, but it is pointless if you get less than 6 hours of sleep, in which case you'll just tire yourself out.
