Sleep Better According to the National Sleep Foundation, 132 million Americans suffer from mild to chronic insomnia and other sleep disorders. It has been shown that the results of sleep deprivation can cause depression, mood swings, memory lapses, severe tension, and also compromise your level of attention during waking hours.
According to a study in the scientific journal Sleep, "Soaking in a hot tub prior to bedtime will not only help you to fall asleep, but will also provide a deeper, more relaxing sleep."
Furthermore, an article published in the September 16, 1999 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine stated that "hot tub therapy" helps to "improve sleep patterns". The benefits are explained further in a pamphlet published by the National Arthritis Foundation titled Pools, Spas, and Arthritis, explaining that soaking in a hot tub will help "in the evening before bedtime to bring on a more restful sleep."
