5. Better sleep
If you are having a hard time falling asleep or find that you spend more time tossing and turning throughout the night than you actually do sleeping, you might want to consider using a sauna. Several research studies have found that bathing in a sauna can promote better sleep. How? – There are actually a number of reasons.
First, when your body is overloaded with toxins, sleep can be marred. Second, when your cortisol levels are high, falling asleep or achieving a deep, rejuvenating sleep can be difficult. Third, tense muscles can cause aches and pains that can also affect your sleep. Using a sauna helps to flush out toxins deep within your body, promotes increased production of endorphins and suppresses cortisol, and helps to ease tension in your muscles. All of these things combined make it easier to fall asleep – and stay asleep. Instead of sleeping pills, try using a sauna to get a better night of sleep.
