3. Hot Showers and Sleep Quality
Speaking of sleep quality, a warm shower or bath an hour or two before bed can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. This is due to the “warm bath effect,” where warm water stimulates blood flow to the hands and feet, letting any excess heat escape your body and helping to regulate its internal temperature. Studies have found that people who take a warm evening shower tend to fall asleep faster and have better overall sleep quality.
