Get Better Sleep with a Spa Day
Yes, you can get better sleep after having a spa day. And no, we’re not just saying that because we’re in the spa business! There is scientific proof that a variety of spa services can actually help you sleep better. And what better time to start focusing on our sleep than right now during Sleep Awareness Month.
According to the Sleep Foundation, “sleep is an essential function that allows your body and mind to recharge, leaving you refreshed and alert when you wake up. Healthy sleep also helps the body remain healthy and stave off diseases. Without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly.” Which we’re guessing anyone who’s had a few bad nights of sleep in a row can attest to!
Activities such as a massage, facial, or a manicure and pedicure help switch on the body’s relaxation response. They reduce the release of our stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, slow down the heart rate and breathing, and increase the levels of serotonin (a calming hormone) in the body. All of which are proven to help you sleep better. And massages in particular, such as the Spa Theory Sleep Massage, can reduce cortisol levels by up to 30%. That’s a lot of stress to say goodbye to!
Do yourself and your sleep a favor this month. Take advantage of Sleep Awareness to become more in tune with your own sleep and recognize when you need some natural remedies such as a massage, facial or other spa services that helps you relax and get the sleep you need.
