Sleep is essential for our overall health and well-being.

When we don't get enough sleep, we can experience a range of problems, including fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings.

If you're struggling to sleep well, you may have tried everything from counting sheep to taking melatonin supplements.

But have you considered using infrared sauna as a method for a great nights sleep?

 

1) Regulates Body Temperature:

Body temperature regulation is essential for sleep. When your body temperature drops at night, it signals to your brain that it’s time to sleep. This is why it can be difficult to fall asleep in a hot room or after taking a hot bath.

Infrared saunas can help to regulate body temperature by raising your core temperature and then helping you to cool down slowly. This process helps to mimic the body’s natural temperature drop in preparation for sleep.

 

2) Reduces Stress & Muscle Tension:

Stress and muscle tension are two common problems that can interfere with sleep. When stressed, our bodies release cortisol, a hormone that can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Muscle tension can also make it difficult to get comfortable in bed and can lead to restless sleep.

Infrared saunas can help to reduce stress and muscle tension by relaxing the muscles, increasing blood circulation, and increasing the production of endorphins, which are hormones that have mood-boosting and pain-relieving effects.

 

3) Increases Melatonin Levels:

Melatonin is a hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in the brain. Melatonin levels rise in the evening and fall in the morning, helping to regulate sleep. Melatonin helps to promote sleep by, reducing alertness and wakefulness, promoting drowsiness & increasing sleep duration.

Infrared saunas can help to increase melatonin levels in a number of ways. First, the heat from the sauna helps to relax the body and promote drowsiness. Second, the infrared radiation helps to increase the production of serotonin, a hormone that is converted into melatonin. Third, the infrared radiation helps to reduce the production of cortisol, a hormone that can interfere with sleep.

 

4) Improves Circulation:

Improved circulation is important for good sleep because it helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and remove waste products. Stress and muscle tension can interfere with sleep by making it difficult to relax and get comfortable in bed.
