“Relaxing-makes me sleep like a baby. Everyone should have one!” Insomnia
Hot Tubs for Insomnia
Approximately 60 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders – both mild and chronic. Sleep disorders range from insomnia to pauses in breathing to snoring. Sleep researchers believe that many cases of insomnia can be traced back to hectic, stressful lifestyles lived by basically healthy people.
According to a recent study in the scientific journal Sleep, a drop in body temperature can help to ease your body into a deeper, more relaxing sleep. Therefore, it is suggested that you soak in hot water (103° F) about 90 minutes before bedtime. This causes the body's internal thermostat to pull your temperature down, enabling sleep to set in with more ease.
HotSpring Spas of Music City does not recommend hot tubs to anyone with serious sleeping issues unless they’ve received specific instructions from their doctor. Before you sit in a hot tub, confirm that it is good for your health.
