Does an infrared sauna also help with sleep problems?

Yes. The heat helps to lower stress hormones and stimulates the production of endorphins and melatonin. This promotes relaxation and can lead to improved sleep quality, something many people, particularly older adults, benefit from.

After a sauna session, your body actively begins to cool down. This cooling process plays an important role in falling asleep, as your core body temperature needs to drop to support sleep onset. A light session around 30 minutes before bedtime can therefore help you fall asleep more easily.

Do allow your body enough time to cool down before getting into bed.
