Abstract
Morning yoga significantly reduced sleep disturbances and improved energy in young adults compared to evening yoga and control groups.
- Morning yoga reduced sleep disturbances (p = 0.03) and enhanced morningness (p = 0.004).
- Participants practicing morning yoga showed an increase in positive mental health traits (sattva) compared to others (p = 0.02).
- Morning yoga led to a decrease in junk food intake (p = 0.03) and improved energy (p = 0.007) and restfulness (p = 0.006).
- Both morning and evening yoga improved quality of life, psychological health, sleep, and lifestyle measures compared to controls (p < 0.001-0.031).
- Evening yoga was associated with a reduction in sadness (p = 0.021) but did not provide the same benefits as morning yoga.
