Life on earth thrives thanks to water, often seen as a magical elixir. It nourishes the mind, body, and soul, yet the full potential of water in enhancing well-being is often untapped due to our inability to communicate with our hot tubs. However, the secrets to better sleep through hot tub use can be uncovered. Explore key insights to address sleep issues with the help of your hot tub.

So what does all this have to do with sleeping? Well, most of us have trouble sleeping. In fact, sleep aids are a 40-50 billion dollar industry. That fact in itself should ring out that we have trouble sleeping. The good news is there is a natural solution to help you sleep through the night like a baby again.

The magic that helps you get good quality sleeps lies in the very powerful healing properties of your hot tub. But you can only unlock maximum benefit if you know these 3 important things your hot tub never told you.

There is a magic number

Several studies have been performed to determine the perfect amount of time to stay in your hot tub. Yes, this is a real number that researchers have determined helps your body hit the internal “reset button.” That number is… 20 minutes. Not 19 minutes, and staying in your hot tub longer is okay but does not offer more benefit. That 20 minute mark hits an internal reset, and no matter how your day was mentally or physically, the body comes back into balance. This allows you to get that deep restful sleep.

Body temperature plays a role in sleep

So now that you have brought the body back into balance, there is another phenomenon that comes into play after your 20 minute rejuvenation. Normal body temperature is 98 degrees. The average hot tub is a 102 degrees. When you are in a hot tub for 20 minutes is it fair to say your core body temperature will rise in this timeframe? Well yes, it does rise. Furthermore, once you exit the hot tub your core body temperature drops rapidly causing a release of endorphins. Couple that with a reset, and you can see where this is going.

A hug helps you sleep

Your skin is the largest organ on your body, and it plays an overall important role. Physical contact with your skin can create a physiological response of relaxation. Think back to when you were young, and maybe a little tense or upset, mom or dad gave you a loving hug, and everything was once again alright in the world. Well, your hot tub kind of gives you that same hug. Your skin and muscles are given a message, after that the jets are turned off, and your hot tub continues to “hug” your body until you hit the 20 minute point.
