Improved Rest
According to a research by the American National Institutes of Health, taking a hot tub soak right before bed may increase the quantity and caliber of your sleep. After soaking, the body temperature changes, which may result in less disruptions to sleep and a decreased likelihood of waking up throughout the night.
This is because your brain signals that it’s time for bed and starts to relax in a way that is more conducive to a good night’s sleep once you come out of the water and the air starts to lower your body temperature.
A warm bath before bed may also help to reduce the symptoms of insomnia, according to other research. This makes taking a warm bath in the evening after a demanding day at Windmill Lodges the ideal way to wind down.
But according to medical advice, you should probably wait around 90 minutes after your hot tub bath before going to bed in order to give your body time to stabilize its temperature.
Improved Blood Flow
Soaking in warm water not only promotes better sleep but also improves blood circulation.
Your blood vessels will enlarge while you unwind in your hot tub, facilitating the flow of blood throughout your body. Your blood will become more oxygenated as a result, which will improve the efficiency with which your blood arteries carry oxygen throughout your body and enable blood to flow to the areas of your muscles that need it most. After a strenuous day of action, such as a leisurely stroll along one of the numerous nature paths around our Derbyshire location, this may be quite beneficial for muscular rehabilitation.
By widening your blood arteries, you can also lessen the pressure your heart can experience from having to work as hard to pump blood throughout your body.
Decrease in Stress and Anxiety
Daily use of a hot tub for a short period of time may assist reduce stress and strains from daily living, especially if you’re taking a leisurely getaway far from the bustle of the city or town in the middle of Derbyshire countryside.
According to science, immersing oneself in water causes your entire body to be gently compressed, like to a warm hug. This aids in the release of endorphins, sometimes known as “feel-good” endorphins, which may soothe and relax you by calming your nervous system.
Pain Management
As previously discussed in regards to recuperating from a physical activity-filled day, unwinding in a hot tub helps ease strained tendons, joints, and muscles. Those with arthritis should find that the hot water relieves the stiffness and inflammation that triggers their pain; those with fibromyalgia, which is characterized by pain in the muscles and bones as well as overall exhaustion, may also find that frequent tub time is beneficial.
Facilitating Healing
In the event that you have sustained a (muscular) injury, a hot tub may facilitate a quicker recovery. This is due to the fact that hydrotherapy, or the use of water as a treatment, is effective for injuries because it allows for the support of a large portion of one’s body weight underwater. Because buoyancy reduces the force of gravity, the injury becomes less painful and less resistance is needed to accomplish therapeutic movement.
A Cautionary Note
Before utilizing any of our hot tubs, Windmill Lodges advises anybody on medication or having a history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or low blood pressure to speak with their doctor. Certain drugs have the potential to induce sleepiness, whilst others may impact circulation, blood pressure, and heart rate.
Furthermore, since high water temperatures during the first few months of pregnancy have a significant risk of harming the developing foetus, women who are pregnant or who suspect they could be pregnant should also consult a physician.
