Hot water therapy is a popular solution for alleviating muscle soreness and increasing blood flow to the joints. Did you know that a 15-20 minute session in the spa could also help you fall and stay asleep easier at the end of the day?
As you drift off to sleep at night, your core temperature begins to naturally cool down. Stepping into and out of the spa’s warm water, to the cool, refreshing air of the night, helps mimic the sensation of the body’s natural cooling. This transition from warm to cool sets you in a more sleepy state, allowing you to already feel relaxed once you’re ready to fall asleep.
Plan your evening soak for a time after you’ve completed all your work, household chores and prep for the next day’s activities. Before you step into the spa, dim the lights in your home and hot tub area to allow your spa’s backlit LED Waterfall cast a calming illumination to let your body and mind slowly begin to unwind.
If you think it will help you relax, try leaving the phone inside the house to reduce the noise of notifications. Instead, set some calming music to play over your spa’s built-in Bluetooth audio system. A calming essence of lavender and herbal tea might also help relax your body as you lounge back to a comforting massage from your spa’s adjustable stainless steel jets.
Once you’re ready to head out of the spa, simply rinse off and head to bed feeling more relaxed and ready to fall asleep to rest and recover from the day.
