Better Sleep Starts in the Hot Tub – Here's Why!

Monday, 21 April 2025 | Hot Tubs & Ice Baths

Did you know May is Better Sleep Awareness Month?
An annual campaign from the Better Sleep Council focused on promoting good sleep habits and raising awareness about the importance of sleep for overall health and well-being. This month-long initiative encourages individuals to prioritise sleep, improve their sleep hygiene, and address any sleep-related concerns.

Better Sleep Starts in the Hot Tub – Here's Why!

Do you find it hard to fall asleep at night? Or maybe you wake up feeling just as tired as when you went to bed? Sleep challenges are incredibly common, but what if there was a simple, natural solution waiting just outside your back door? Enter the hot tub - a powerful and peaceful ally in the pursuit of better sleep!

Why Sleep Is So Important

Sleep is not a luxury; it’s a biological necessity. It allows the body and mind time to recharge, regulates mood and immune function, and is vital for memory, focus, and heart health. Yet millions struggle to get the rest they need due to stress, pain, and inconsistent sleep routines.

How Hot Tubs Improve Sleep Quality

Soaking in a hot tub 1-2 hours before bed can help you:

Fall asleep faster by relaxing tense muscles and calming the nervous system
Stay asleep longer by improving circulation and reducing inflammation
Sleep deeper by stimulating melatonin production through core body temperature regulation

This happens because your body temperature naturally drops before bed as a signal to sleep. A warm soak raises your temperature temporarily it then falls immediately afterwards, triggering the body's sleep cycle in a natural and soothing way.

Additional Benefits of an Evening Soak

Hot tubs don’t just improve sleep-they also help tackle the things that keep you awake:

Stress and anxiety relief: The calming environment helps quiet a racing mind.
Pain reduction: Eases back pain, joint stiffness, and muscle soreness.
Mindful wind-down: Create a healthy, screen-free nighttime ritual.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Hot Tub for Sleep

Set a regular bedtime and soak 30-60 minutes beforehand.
Keep the temperature between 37-39°C for relaxation.
Use dim lighting or LED mood lights to help your body shift into rest mode.
Avoid alcohol or heavy meals before soaking.
Pair the experience with calming music or aromatherapy.

Transform Your Nights – and Your Mornings

Poor sleep affects every part of life-from mood and focus to physical health. A hot tub may not just help you fall asleep faster-it can help you wake up feeling refreshed, energised, and ready for the day ahead.
