Benefits of a Bath Before Bed

We’re all familiar with the instant comfort a hot bath can give you. But guess what? Simply soaking in a hot bath before bed will set you up for a beautiful night’s sleep. And don’t take it from us – this is science-backed. Here we’re going to take a short dive into just why science says having a hot bath before bed can be so beneficial, as well as call out some of the Radox products you can use to make your bath all the more relaxing and calming.

 

Why Take a Bath Before Bed

As amazing as that instant comfort of a hot bath is, it’s not exactly why it’ll help you have a good night’s rest. The scientific reason behind hot baths helping us sleep has everything to do with natural temperature regulation.

As bedtime approaches for us, our core temperature starts to naturally cool. When you step into a bath, it’s not our body temperature rising that helps us sleep, it’s actually the cooling down of our body temperature once you step out of your hot bath that gets your body into sleep mode. Essentially, we’re tricking the body into going from daytime to night-time.
