Is It Better To Sauna In The Morning Or Night?

In addition to all the health benefits of using our infrared saunas regularly, they can be fantastic for helping you to relax & unwind and can even improve your sleep. However, they also create a cardiovascular workout on the body and studies have shown that they can activate Cytochrome C Oxidase and increase ATP which boosts energy - so, is it better to sauna in the morning or night?

It depends on what you are using your sauna for, how you’re incorporating it into your daily routine and how you find sauna works for your body - Using a sauna can help you to stretch better so some may find it beneficial to use their sauna in the morning before a workout. Some may find using it after their workout at the end of the day or to relax before heading to bed is better.  You could use your sauna both morning AND night if you wanted to!
