Summer nights can be a challenge for those who suffer from insomnia. The heat and humidity can make falling asleep a difficult task. Fortunately, there are innovative methods like cryotherapy that can help you combat insomnia and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. At Recovery Plus, we explore how cryotherapy can become your ally during these hot summer nights.
What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a technique that involves exposing the body to extremely low temperatures for a short period of time. This therapy is commonly used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and improve muscle recovery. However, its benefits are not limited to these physical aspects; cryotherapy can also have a positive impact on sleep quality.
Benefits of cryotherapy for insomnia
- Body temperature regulation: During hot nights, maintaining an appropriate body temperature is crucial for falling asleep. Cryotherapy helps to cool the body quickly, which can ease the transition to a relaxed and drowsy state. This cooling can be especially beneficial in the summer, when heat can make it difficult to fall asleep.
- Stress and anxiety reduction: Insomnia is often related to stress and anxiety. Cryotherapy has been shown to be effective in reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can help you feel more relaxed and ready for sleep. In addition, the treatment can release endorphins, the feel-good hormones, which promote an overall sense of calm.
- Improved circulation and reduced inflammation: Insomnia can also be related to physical aches and pains. Cryotherapy improves blood circulation and reduces inflammation, relieving pain and muscle tension that can interfere with sleep. A cryotherapy session can leave you feeling revitalized and ready to rest.
How to incorporate cryotherapy into your summer routine
- Regular cryotherapy sessions: For best results, regular cryotherapy sessions are recommended. Consult with a professional to determine the appropriate frequency for your specific needs. A cryotherapy session can last between two and four minutes, which is long enough to experience its benefits without compromising your comfort.
- Create an environment conducive to Sleep: Complement the effects of cryotherapy by creating a cool, comfortable sleeping environment. Use fans, air conditioning or even a cold pad to maintain a comfortable temperature in your bedroom. Turning off lights and electronic devices can also help prepare your mind and body for rest.
- Additional relaxation routines: Incorporate other relaxation practices into your nighttime routine. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing or a warm bath before bedtime can enhance the effects of cryotherapy, helping you achieve a state of calm and readiness for sleep.
