Improve your sleep

The body's innate circadian rhythm, often described as its internal 24-hour clock, plays a vital role in governing our sleep patterns. This rhythm acts as a signal for the body to produce melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone. A crucial nighttime cue for melatonin production is the gradual lowering of our core body temperature. Interestingly, activities like indulging in a warm bath or utilizing an infrared sauna before bedtime can have a cooling effect on the overall body temperature.

Applying heat to the skin's surface triggers the body's natural cooling response, facilitating the reduction in core body temperature. This cooling process can, in turn, lead to decreased cortisol levels, which tend to be elevated due to the stresses of daily life. Lowered cortisol levels, achieved through heat therapy, can induce a state of relaxation, creating a conducive atmosphere for restful and rejuvenating sleep.

Poor sleep can lead to a multitude of problems, affecting various aspects of our lives. One significant issue is cognitive impairment, as insufficient sleep can result in difficulties with concentration, memory, and decision-making. Additionally, it's closely linked to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, making mental well-being vulnerable to sleep deprivation.

Sauna therapy has been known to strengthen detoxification pathways, enhancing blood circulation, and optimizing mitochondrial function, collectively enhancing overall bodily function and ultimately supporting improved sleep.
