Evening bath or shower affects the quality of sleep

There are more benefits to taking a bath or shower in the evening than just getting clean under the sheets. It also has a positive influence on your night's sleep.

It is already known that a warm bath or a poor shower can ensure that you go to bed relaxed. But if you also want to have a good quality night's sleep, the moment of an evening bath or shower is very important.

Research

A recent sleep study reviewing more than 5,000 previous studies on sleep shows that you should stretch 10 to 15 minutes before a bath or shower session where the water is between 40 to 52.5 degrees Celsius. To get the perfect night's sleep, you should do this about two to three hours before going to sleep.

Body temperature

Your body is then initially warmed up nicely. After two to three hours, the temperature of your body drops and that is the time to fall asleep like a log.
