A study in the journal Sleep found that people with moderate sleep complaints who did six months of a slow-motion version of Tai Chi called Chih - a meditative sequence of 19 movements - felt less tired during the day and could concentrate more, compared with people who received only health education over the same period.

Tai Chi incorporates components of relaxation and exercise, both of which may improve sleep.
