What is the approximate time to enter the sauna room?

The basic time in the sauna room is 8 to 12 minutes.If you are new to saunas and are not used to saunas, don't overdo it, and it is okay to aim for a shorter 6 minutes at first.Once you get used to it, increase the time a little, aiming for 8 to 12 minutes.

It is not recommended to stay in the sauna room for longer than 15 minutes.Also, if you feel any changes in your body, even for just a few minutes, don't force yourself to leave the sauna room immediately.If you can't stand the heat of the sauna room, we recommend moving to the lower level.This is because the temperature in the lower part of the sauna room is lower than the upper part.

The sauna room is equipped with a sauna timer and an hourglass.The sauna timer can measure 1 minutes in one lap.It is a good idea to use this to measure the approximate time you will be in the sauna room.

What is the approximate time to enter the Lory sauna?

Finnish-style louryu saunas, in which water is poured over heated sauna stones and steam is released to warm the body, have also become popular in recent years.Just like in a regular sauna, it's a good idea to stay in the Lory sauna for 8 to 12 minutes.

Is the time required for dry sauna and wet sauna different?

A sauna room with low humidity and high temperature is called a dry sauna.On the other hand, a wet sauna is a sauna room with high humidity and low temperature.Dry saunas tend to feel hotter than wet saunas.If you are using a dry sauna, it is best to stay in the sauna for a shorter time than in a wet sauna without overdoing it.

What time do you take a cold bath?

After sweating in the sauna room, take a cold bath to cool down your body heat.The recommended time to take a water bath is 1 to 2 minutes.Rather than taking a cold bath straight away, be sure to wash off your sweat with hot water or a shower before entering.

If you are a sauna beginner and are not used to cold baths, if it is winter and it is too cold to take a cold bath, or if you are sensitive to cold or are sensitive to cold and don't like cold baths, there is no need to force yourself to take a cold bath for a long time. . It is okay to get out of the water bath after 30 seconds to 1 minute.

When should I take a bath outside?

After cooling down in the water bath, take a bath in the open air for some rest and relaxation.The recommended time for an outdoor bath is 5 to 15 minutes.You may want to change the time depending on the season or time of day.

You cannot decide whether the outdoor air bath time is too short or too long. The best time to stop bathing in the outside air is when you feel that your feet are getting a little cold.

How much time do you need in total?

To have a satisfying sauna experience, repeat several sets of ``sweating in the sauna room,'' ``cooling your body in a cold bath,'' and ``taking a bath in the outside air.''The standard is 3 sets.

The approximate time for one set is approximately 1 to 25 minutes. Doing 30 sets will take about 3 hour and 1 to 20 minutes.If you include the time to change clothes, make-up, etc. before and after using the sauna, you should think that the total time required for sauna is about 30 hours.

If you want to fill up on sauna or take a nap inside the sauna after the sauna, then of course you should plan for more time than that.

When is the best time to use the sauna?

There are hot bath facilities and capsule hotels that are open 24 hours a day, as well as saunas that can be used not only at night but also in the morning and afternoon. When you ask yourself, "What time of the day is the best time to use a sauna?" the answer is "1 to 1 hours before bed."If you use the sauna at this timing, the quality of your sleep will improve and you will sleep soundly.

When should I use the sauna at night?

As mentioned above, the best time to take a sauna at night is 1 to 2 hours before going to bed.However, saunas are often crowded at night, so make sure you have plenty of time before going to a sauna, make a reservation if possible, and choose a location that is easily accessible from your home. would be better.

Please note that it is strictly prohibited to use the sauna after drinking alcohol.Alcohol is a diuretic, and sweating in a sauna can lead to dehydration.Also, entering a sauna while intoxicated can lead to accidents such as falling, falling asleep, or losing consciousness in the sauna due to a drop in blood pressure.Avoid taking a sauna after drinking alcohol.

How long should I stay in the sauna in the morning?

Taking a sauna 1 to 2 hours before going to bed at night has the benefit of helping you get a good night's sleep, but there are also benefits to taking a sauna in the morning.If you take a sauna after waking up in the morning, you will wake up refreshed and turn on your body.

Also, some sauna facilities offer lower morning bathing fees, so you can use the sauna at a lower price than usual.There are fewer customers than at night, so it is also suitable for people who want to use the sauna in a relaxed manner.

However, if you take a sauna in the morning to relax and end up feeling sleepy, it will have the opposite effect.It is recommended that you spend a little less time in the sauna in the morning than in the sauna at night.

Glamping is recommended if you want to enjoy the sauna at your own pace!

Many glamping facilities also have saunas.Most of the saunas available at glamping facilities are tent saunas and Finnish-style barrel saunas that can be enjoyed in an outdoor environment, but they are both reserved saunas for private reservations and saunas for guest rooms, so the appeal is that you can enjoy the sauna in a private space.

If you choose a room with a private sauna, you can take a sauna whenever you like during your stay.In addition to being able to enjoy the sauna at your own pace, you can also enjoy the sauna to your heart's content before going to bed at night or after waking up in the morning.
