Regular physical activity can improve sleep quality and duration, as well as overall health. Walking for 45 minutes to an hour a day can be a helpful starting point for someone who is not used to exercising regularly. Additionally, doing things she enjoys can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can also improve sleep. Options A and B are not accurate or helpful advice. Option D should only be considered under the guidance of a doctor and is not the best first step for improving sleep.
