It’s hard to have a productive and positive day when you haven’t had enough rest the night before. Besides hurting your productivity, the side effects that are associated with a lack of sleep are no joke – it slows you down mentally, contributes to heart disease and other illnesses, causes accidents, and makes it hard to do the things you enjoy. If you suffer from insomnia, whether occasionally or chronically, you’ve no doubt experienced some of these side effects first hand. You may be surprised to know your hot tub can help! 

Soaking in your hot tub…

First, signals your body that it’s time to sleep. Naturally, your body drops in temperature an hour or two before bedtime and continues to drop until approximately 4:00 a.m. When you soak in your hot tub, the warm water raises your core temperature a bit higher than normal. Then, as your core temperature cools, it sends your body the message that it’s time to sleep. To get the most out of this natural reaction, take your nightly spa soak about 45 minutes to an hour before you plan to go to bed.

Secondly, addresses many issues that cause sleeplessness in the first place. Regularly soaking in a hot tub improves conditions that impact sleep in some way. For instance, if the pain is keeping you up, hot tubbing is known to ease muscle aches, help with chronic backache, and even improve arthritis symptoms. Soaking in a spa also helps with stress-relief, lessens symptoms of anxiety, and can relieve headaches, among other things. If it’s a specific condition contributing to your insomnia, chances are that soaking in a hot tub can help, thus helping to improve your sleep on two fronts.
