Hot Shower Before Bed — Is This Really the Secret to Sleeping Better? I'd Like to Think So, But What Do Experts Say About It?

A pretty bedroom with a curved wood headboard, a velvetty bedscape with a bolster pillow, a furry throw, and a chequerboard side table.

Even against the balmy London nights, I find myself foregoing a cold evening shower for a momentarily comforting warm one. And by warm, I mean hot. A fact I find myself embarrassed to admit until now.

All because I have been researching whether a hot shower before bed is one of the best ways to sleep better, and the verdict is in and it's positively in my favor (and possibly yours, too).
