Can Improve Sleep Quality, This Is The Benefit Of Bathing At Night

JAKARTA - Bathing hot in the morning can make you fresh and increase creativity, according to several studies. However, if you want to improve sleep quality, taking a shower before bed can be a solution.

"The body temperature plays an important role in regulating the rhythm of sirkadian, which reminds the body when feeling sleepy. During the day, body temperature naturally increases until the afternoon. Cooling is a signal that tells us we should go to bed," said Dr. Dianne Augelli of the Center for Sleep Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian.

Augelli said the disruption of this process could make it difficult for someone to sleep. The same thing was expressed by the director of behavioral sleep MEDicine from New York's Montefiore Medical Center, Maritime Affairs Harris. According to him, taking a shower before bed gives the body a chance to cool down and triggers the body to sleep.

Many studies suggest taking a 20-minute shower will have an effect on your body. However, Harris recommends an hour and a half. That way, when you lie down, your body becomes cold, dry and ready to sleep.

In addition, you can also clean your face while taking a shower. According to the National Sleep Foundation, this method can help clean your skin, reduce acne, prevent wrinkles and help night creams and moisturizers work more effectively. So as reported by Health.com.
