Reply to comment by jimmy_the_angel in Research shows that people in good physical shape are less likely to need a sleeping pill prescription. The beneficial effect of exercise is stronger for men, who have a 15% lower risk of needing drugs for troublesome sleep issues but also women can benefit from it by giuliomagnifico

Being in shape and staying in shape are the same thing. Fit people aren’t magically fit. It’s something you work on daily or almost daily

In the long run, you are absolutely correct.

There is a transitional period of a few months to a couple of years where you’ve stopped training but haven’t completely lost the adaptations to strength and endurance yet, so perhaps you could tell the difference during that time period. I doubt this type of study can tease that apart, though.
