We can all relate to those frustrating nights spent tossing and turning, wondering why we can’t seem to get to sleep. The headachey, sluggish feeling that follows an average sleep is something we can all do without. However, with screens and notifications invading more and more of our time, poor sleep is becoming increasingly common. It’s not something you should learn to live with, as consistently poor sleep can lead to some serious health issues. One method scientifically proven to provide a more restful sleep is a simple and relaxing soak in a spa pool as you start winding down for bedtime. In this article, we will take a look at exactly how such an enjoyable and straightforward practice can get you back to 100%.
Body Temperature
It may be news to you that your body’s temperature actually slightly cools when you fall asleep. Scientists are still debating on exactly why this takes place, but they believe a slight drop in temperature acts as a signal and effectively a controller for other daily cycles to get underway. In simpler terms, your body can not complete its required maintenance and healing if you aren’t getting good quality sleep. We can give our body a push in the right direction by enjoying some time in a spa pool before bed. Obviously, being submerged in warm water is going to push your body temperature up. The magic here happens when you get out of the spa pool, and your body temperature begins to drop. You can effectively ride this wave to sleep, as your body is already in the process of cooling down, it’s the perfect time to slip into bed and drift off into a deep, rejuvenating sleep.
Hydrotherapy
Whether you’re feeling the effects of a strenuous workout or suffer from an ailment like restless leg syndrome, sore muscles tend to be non-conducive to a restful sleep. We can combat this by employing the power of hydrotherapy. Carefully placed jets will massage whatever parts of your body they come into contact with, effectively relieving pressure and reducing lactic acid buildup. Most spa pools feature diverters, where you can direct more jet pressure to certain seats in the spa, to offer a comprehensive experience akin to a deep-tissue massage. The feeling of weightlessness spa pools user experience is also a highly relaxing experience, as the water’s buoyancy effectively supports your body weight. Further benefits include increased range of motion for joints and the increased circulation of nutrient-rich blood. All of these features combine to provide a truly tranquil experience, leaving you completely relaxed and ready to slip deep into a night of restorative sleep.
