Is it true that the more you exercise the less you need to sleep?

Yes, this is a common misconception. Exercise can help improve your overall quality of sleep and reduce the amount of time you spend in bed, but not necessarily the number of hours you sleep each night. In fact, studies have shown that people who exercise regularly may actually require slightly more sleep than those who don't. So if you're looking for ways to optimize your sleep, try to find activities that are relaxing instead of stimulating (like reading or listening to music) before you go to bed.
