A hot bath won’t help you fall asleep
After several days of nice weather, the weekend is about to turn cold again! Winter is the season when it’s easy to stay in bed, but why do some people really want to sleep but can’t fall asleep? !
At this time, check if your hands and feet are cold?
Drowsiness comes when the body's internal core temperature drops. In order for core temperature to drop, heat must be released from the hands, feet, and surface layers of the body. But when the temperature of the extremities of the hands and feet is low, the blood vessels constrict and the heat in the body cannot be dissipated.
So, what to do?
The answer is simple, keep your body warm.
Once the body temperature rises, it will have a "recovery" effect. As the body temperature drops, sleepiness will follow.
Therefore, eating a hot dinner or drinking some hot herbal tea before going to bed can help you sleep. The most effective among them is taking a bath. However, special attention should be paid to the fact that overheating the water temperature is not acceptable! Because the water temperature exceeds 42 degrees, it will stimulate the skin and sympathetic nervous system, making you more awake.
It is recommended here that you do not take overheated hot baths. No matter how cold the weather is, no matter how strong the cold current is, try to control the water temperature within 40 degrees. This will help relax the autonomic nervous system, reduce the burden on the heart, and thus improve the quality of sleep!
