"Can physical activity really help you sleep better and manage stress?"
In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with sleep researcher Jin Wen, exploring how physical activity interacts with sleep and stress. Jin discusses how daily movement can improve sleep quality and reduce stress, but it’s not just about burning energy. She shares insights from research showing that regular physical activity helps maintain homeostasis, which can lead to better sleep and lower stress levels.
Jin also introduces the SATED model, which evaluates different aspects of sleep, including satisfaction, alertness, timing, and duration. This holistic approach helps people understand how sleep quality goes beyond just getting enough hours of rest. Additionally, Jin highlights a growing issue in modern life - revenge sleep procrastination, where people sacrifice sleep to reclaim personal time, potentially affecting both their sleep and long-term health. If you want to learn how physical activity, sleep, and stress are interconnected, this episode is filled with practical insights and research findings.

Audio podcast of satellite event of the ProPASS consortium-ISPAH partnership: “Towards the 1st device-based guidelines of physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep
ISPAH Congress 2022 on the 23rd - 26th of October 2022.
Over 90% of the evidence used for guidelines development is based on questionnaires. In the last decade there has been a large increase in device-based cohorts that will likely inform the next generation of guidelines. Compared to questionnaires, devices such as accelerometers capture very different aspects of physical activity, posture and sleep. The symposium’s sessions will discuss the strengths and complexities encountered during the transition of future guidelines from questionnaire-based to accelerometer-measured evidence, and will highlight the instrumental role that ProPASS and other analogous consortia can play in enabling a smooth transition towards device-based and truly global physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep guidelines.
Speakers:
Professor Fiona Bull (World Health Organization)
Professor Ulf Ekelund (Norwegian School of Sport Sciences & ProPASS)
Associate Professor Karen Milton (ISPAH & University of East Anglia)
Professor Jasper Schipperijn (ISPAH & University of Southern Denmark)
