2. A Relaxing Bedtime Ritual
Showering at night also acts as a signal to the body that it’s time to slow down and get ready for sleep. Dr. David Rosen, a sleep physician, explains that the body naturally begins cooling down in the evening as part of its preparation for sleep. A warm shower can enhance this process, helping to lower your core body temperature, promoting relaxation, and making it easier to fall asleep. Hot or warm, the increase in skin temperature from a shower helps tell your body that rest is coming, which should help give you a better nights’ sleep.
