Sleep dictates how our entire body functions. Good quality sleep consolidates our memory, repairs muscle, improves motor function and removes plaque from the brain. But for many, a good night rest is luxury.

Let's fix that.

Sauna
- 5 degrees less than your normal sessions
- 5 to 10 minutes longer than normal
- 30 to 40 minutes before bed
- After sauna, refrain from using your phone or putting the TV on. Use this time to sip some tea and relax. Yes you may have to visit the bathroom in the night, that's ok. It's good in fact! Quality sleep is the goal. 
- 1 to 1.5 litres of water

Sauna session boosters to help with sleep:

Tea:
- Chamomile tea is a muscle relaxant (post sauna)
- Skullcap calms the nervous system/sedative

Oils:
- Lavender- place 2 to 3 drops on the spine or on the bottom of the feet before bed or rub into your chest during your sauna session.
- Valerian to minimise sleep disturbances

Colour Therapy:
- Red- balances the circadian rhythm and tells the body its time to relax. The frequency of red light is the last light we see in nature when the sun sets, signalling that its time to find shelter and bed-down for the night. Red light promotes production of the sleep hormone melatonin. 
- No light at all
