You may not know that the air in the morning is not fresh, and it may even be a time when the air pollution is serious. According to meteorological statistics, the air quality index in the morning is very bad throughout the year (especially from 5 to 8 o'clock). Health experts pointed out that during this period of time, an inversion layer will appear in the near-low atmosphere above the land, with its height ranging from 200 to 1000 meters. This temperature layer is like a lid, causing more smoke and impurities in the city to gather underneath it. In addition, the air disturbance is small in the early morning, making it very difficult for smoke and impurities to spread to high altitudes and the surroundings, which will cause the ground air pollution to worsen. Therefore, choosing to exercise in the early morning is very detrimental to your health.

When it is time to go to bed, human body temperature plays a very important role. Normally, when your body is about to enter the sleep stage, your body temperature should drop a little, which will trigger a signal telling your body that it's time to sleep and rest. But if you take a hot shower before bedtime, this signal will disappear, so your body will not be able to enter the state of sleep and rest.

For those who like to take a shower at night, it is recommended to do so 1.5 to 2 hours before bedtime. Exercising at night can also raise your body temperature and affect your sleep quality. If you want to exercise, it is recommended to do it 5 to 6 hours before going to bed (because after exercise, it will take longer for the body temperature to drop.
