A Simple Bedtime Ritual for Deeper Sleep
Taking a warm shower or bath about 60–90 minutes before bedtime can help you fall asleep more quickly and improve sleep quality by promoting your body’s natural cooling process.
According to a systematic review from researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, warm bathing 1–2 hours before bed significantly improves both sleep onset latency and sleep efficiency.
This happens because warming the skin increases peripheral blood flow, allowing the core body temperature to drop.
A lower core temperature acts as a biological signal that prepares the body for sleep. This simple adjustment aligns with your circadian rhythm and serves as an effective, low-cost strategy for deeper rest.
