Day 9 -Trouble sleeping? Take a hot bath before bed!




Today you have opened one of our lovely bath tea bags designed to bring tranquility and peace to your bath-time. All you have to do is hang it over your tap and let the water run over it as you fill your tub or pop it into the bath water for a relaxing soak.


But how can a bath help you sleep?

Taking a hot bath before bed could help you sleep better, especially if the water temperature and timing of the bath are just right.


A research team from The University of Texas at Austin, conducted a systematic data analysis evaluating research that linked bathing, water temperature, and sleep quality. The researchers reviewed 5,322 studies and used about a dozen with solid methodologies to make their conclusions.


According to their results, bathing one to two hours — ideally, 90 minutes — before bed in water at 104 to 109°F (40 to 43°C) did the trick to help people get the best quality sleep. Bathing at that time and temperature can help you fall asleep an average of 10 minutes quicker than normal.


Our bath tea bags add lavender and chamomile – both of which have proven effects to relax the body and mind and help you sleep, so you’ve got an even better chance of a great nights sleep!
