Benefits from taking a shower before bedtime.

Jay from Beds4U Glenfield

According to studies, taking a warm shower every night will help you fall asleep faster.
Showering often re-regulates our bodies' flowing motion and aids in the stabilization of our body temperature. It allows us to cool down and relax after a long and exhausting day. Showering or bathing before bedtime has several important sleep-promoting benefits:

Showers help you relax both physically and emotionally. A warm bath or shower always makes you feel better. It's easier to sleep when you're less anxious.

Showers are cleansing. When you go into bed clean, you will not only feel less stressed, but you will also avoid carrying any dirt, oils, or allergies into the bed with you. This is beneficial to both your skin and your mattress.

Showers require you to unplug. You can't watch TV or check Facebook on your phone while showering (unless you want to harm your technology). Even if just for a few minutes, your mind needs to disconnect. Including a shower in your evening regimen helps you move from your active daytime mode to relaxation and sleep mode.
