Why Am I So Tired After Being in An Infrared Sauna?

If you’ve come into Sculptology for a sweat session in our Infrared Sauna, you’ll likely feel immediately energized and amazing…for about 10 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, you feel completely exhausted. It’s not just your imagination- there’s a scientific reason behind it. But, you may wonder why you feel so tired after an infrared sauna when the whole point is to relax and rejuvenate. Read on to learn more about why you feel so tired after sitting in an infrared sauna and what you can do to combat it.

How Infrared Saunas Work

Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body directly instead of heating the air around you like a traditional sauna. So, when you step into an infrared sauna, your body is immediately bombarded with infrared light waves. These waves penetrate your skin and cause your body temperature to rise, heating your body from the inside out. This causes you to sweat, which helps detoxify your body and improve circulation. As your body sweats, it begins to rid itself of toxins and impurities. At the same time, your heart rate begins to increase as your body works hard to maintain a stable internal temperature. All of these physical processes use a lot of energy, which is why you might feel tired after spending time in an infrared sauna.

While an infrared sauna can help you relax and feel rejuvenated, it’s also important to understand that this type of sauna can be pretty intense. Sweating in an infrared sauna can use more energy than running a marathon! So it’s no wonder you may feel completely wiped out after just one session.

So, to answer your question, “Why am I so tired after an infrared sauna session?”:

  1. You Sweat A Lot. During an infrared sauna session, your body temperature rises, and you sweat. This process helps flush toxins from your body, which can tax your system. You might feel quite exhausted afterward, depending on how much you sweat during your session. infrared sauna img
  2. You Dehydrate Quickly. Because you are sweating so much during an infrared sauna session, it’s essential to ensure you drink plenty of water before and after your sauna time. If you don’t replenish the fluids lost through sweating, you might feel lightheaded or dizzy, leading to fatigue.
  3. Your Heart Rate Increases. Another reason why you might feel tired after an infrared sauna is because your heart rate increases during the session. You might feel fatigued as your heart works harder to pump blood around your body. If this happens, listening to your body and taking a break if necessary is important.

How to Combat Fatigue After an Infrared Sauna Session

If you feel exhausted after an infrared sauna session, don’t worry – it’s normal! In most cases, fatigue is simply because your body is working hard to sweat out toxins and rehydrate itself.  But there are a few things that you can do to combat fatigue. First, drink plenty of fluids before and after your sauna session. It’s also important to listen to your body and take a break if you feel lightheaded or dizzy.

Finally, don’t push yourself too hard- try gradually increasing the amount of time you spend in the sauna so your body can get used to the heat. If you’re ever feeling unsafe or uncomfortable during a sauna session, be sure to listen to your body and call it quits early. If you follow these tips, you should be able to enjoy all the benefits of an infrared sauna without feeling too tired afterward.
