As winter sets in and daylight hours shorten, many people struggle with disrupted sleep patterns.
The decrease in exposure to sunlight may lead to lethargy and winter insomnia at a time when new research suggests we may need more sleep compared to summer. Regardless of the season, 33-45% of Australian adults experience inadequate sleep according to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), and winter only seems to amplify the prevalence of sleep disruptions.
One solution that can help address the problem is Hydrotherapy. Warm water exercises can provide a gentle yet effective way to relax both your body and mind, especially during the colder seasons. Exercising in warm water helps to soothe the muscles, alleviate tension, and promote relaxation, making it easier to unwind after a long day and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.
In addition to enhancing sleep quality, warm water exercise offers numerous health benefits, including improved circulation, increased flexibility, and reduced muscle soreness. It’s a holistic approach to winter wellness that supports both physical and mental wellbeing.
