It’s hard to give yourself fully to what and who you love.
Infrared sauna helps the body in so many ways that can help improve sleep, and give you back the energy you need to thrive.
Using our IR Saunas may help you sleep better.
There’s not much scientific study on infrared saunas and sleep, yet anecdotal evidence often points to possibility and creates the need to learn more.
In recent years, studies began seeing a pattern of feedback from people noticing an effect on their sleep after they began using IR Saunas. The study asked our those who experienced improvements in their sleep: 70% of those who responded said they had.
Our bodies regulate sleep through a complicated chemical process managed by our brain, activated by our circadian rhythm and sleep drive.
When that process is disrupted, there are a lot of variables to consider and evaluate, including activity patterns; health issues like stress, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, depression, menopause, diabetes, etc.; and sleep hygiene factors such as room temperature, light reduction, regular bedtimes and wake times, etc.
Infrared saunas offer several benefits that can help improve sleep quality.
Here are some of the key ways they can contribute to better sleep:
Relaxation and Stress Reduction
The heat from an infrared sauna promotes relaxation by soothing muscles and reducing tension. This can help lower stress levels and calm the mind, making it easier to fall asleep.
Increased Production of Relaxation Hormones
Infrared sauna sessions can stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural mood elevators. This can lead to a feeling of well-being and relaxation, conducive to better sleep.
Improved Circulation
Enhanced blood circulation from infrared sauna use can help relax muscles and joints, leading to overall physical relaxation. This can reduce discomfort and pain that might interfere with sleep.
Reduction of Inflammation
Infrared heat can help reduce inflammation in muscles and joints, alleviating pain and stiffness. This can contribute to a more comfortable and restful night’s sleep, especially for those with chronic pain conditions.
Detoxification
Sweating in an infrared sauna helps to eliminate toxins from the body. A cleaner internal environment can improve overall health and wellness, contributing to better sleep patterns.
Enhanced Melatonin Production
The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of infrared saunas can indirectly support the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles.
Balancing Cortisol Levels
Infrared sauna use can help balance cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone. Lower cortisol levels in the evening can promote a sense of calm and readiness for sleep.
Thermoregulation
The process of heating up and then cooling down after a sauna session can mimic the body’s natural thermoregulation process before sleep. This can signal to the body that it is time to rest, making it easier to fall asleep.
Enhanced Parasympathetic Nervous System Activity
The heat from an infrared sauna can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for ‘rest and digest’ activities. This can help the body enter a more relaxed state, ideal for falling and staying asleep.
Mental Clarity and Focus
Regular use of infrared saunas can help clear the mind of daily stressors and promote mental clarity. A relaxed and clear mind can make it easier to unwind at the end of the day and prepare for sleep.
Incorporating infrared sauna sessions into your routine, especially in the evening, can help create a relaxation ritual that signals to your body that it is time to wind down and prepare for sleep. As with any new wellness practice, it’s important to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying health conditions.
