It’s about SLEEP. It’s about QUALITY. It’s about YOU.
Taking a hot bath or shower
before bed can help you sleep better
Are you looking for more secrets to a great night's sleep?
We have another tip for you! One thing you need to do before you turn off the lights is take a bath. Not just any bath—a warm and calming one.
Some might think that bathing is an unnecessary luxury, but it turns out that bathing before bed could be the key to getting the best sleep of your life.
In fact, experts suggest that taking a warm bath before hitting the hay is one of the most effective ways to relax and wind down for bedtime.
The process of soaking in water can help relieve stress, reduce inflammation in muscles and joints, increase circulation throughout your body, and even improve your mood!
Bathing before bed can give you more energy and make it easier for your brain to shut down at night.
So, if you have trouble sleeping at night because you're tired or stressed out, this might be something worth testing yourself! Take sleep seriously—you know what they say, 'you'll never know unless you give it a try'.
Below are a list of ideas that will help you set up a calming bath time;
SCHEDULE YOUR BATHING TIME CAREFULLY
If you're planning on taking a long bath, make sure you have plenty of time—a quick soak doesn't cut it when it comes to relaxation.
Don't rush it! You want to make sure that your body gets all the benefits of the bath without feeling rushed or hurried. So set aside extra time and make sure that everyone in your household knows about your plans for your ‘calming bath’ routine.
ADJUST WATER TEMPERATURE (WARM)
The 'bath' itself is the main star of this whole process.
If your tub is too hot or cold for your liking , adjust it until it is warm. You'll be able to stay in the tub for longer and enjoy a better experience overall.
But don't do it too long, or else your body will start to feel uncomfortable.
MAKE THE SETTING FEEL LIKE A SPA
Be imaginative; use items like candles to create a relaxing mood or play music that helps you relax before bed.
Adding essential oils can also be used to soothe your lungs. Some people like to add potted plants or simply petals for elegance (e.g. rose). It will be like taking a vacation at home!
We hope these ideas help you out. Don’t be afraid to try out different sleep tips, especially when they’re backed up by science and proof.
Remember: warm baths before you hit the hay can be the perfect way to wind down at the end of a long day–plus it's a natural stress reliever.
