    Lucy - unfortunately, too many people experience sleep problems. I am confident that this project will shed some light on the impact of the timing of exercise on sleep problems. Thank you for your support!

    Lets make this happen! Science is going to be harder and harder to fund in the current political climate, but we can all help make exciting small budget projects like this one a reality.

    Through this study I am hoping to discover whether I am exercising at the right time of the day or, is there really a "right" time to exercise.

    I would love to know the answer to this research question! I tend to exercise in the evening, and I think it helps me sleep, but I really have no idea.
