Restful nights of sleep can be few and far between. Whether your joints ache or you feel anxious about everything you need to do the next day, falling asleep β and staying asleep β can seem nearly impossible at times. Personally, I like to unwind before bed by taking a warm bath. My friends sometimes tease me over how much I love baths, but they're so calming and cosy δΈ and experts say that showering or bathing in warm water before bed can help lower your core body temperature, making it easier to fall asleep. So, if you're struggling to get those Zs, you might consider adding a bath to your nightly routine as well. For an even more soothing bedtime ritual, try one of these top-rated bath soaks.
