How Often Should You Use An Infrared Sauna?

By: Alex Tyson

Owning an in-home infrared sauna provides a luxurious convenience – enabling regular, private sauna sessions (where you choose what to wear). But with such privilege comes the question: how often should you use an infrared sauna? In this guide, we’ll delve into how often you can enjoy your sauna, exploring the safety of daily usage, and the age-old debate: is it better to sauna in the morning or night?

It’s important to tailor your sauna regimen to your individual needs and objectives. For example, frequent infrared sauna sessions have the potential to cut your risk of sudden cardiac death. However, exposure to high temperatures can impact male fertility by affecting sperm count. Therefore, carefully consider your individual circumstances and discuss the best option for you with your healthcare practitioner and Found—Space specialist.

How Many Infrared Sauna Sessions Per Week?

While there’s no specific formula for determining how many infrared saunas per week one should have, many of our clientele report optimal results with 3 or more sessions weekly.

Using an infrared sauna daily is indeed safe and can be particularly beneficial for those targeting rapid results, such as weight loss. Talk to our team for tailored advice based on your individual goals, but here’s a foundational recommendation:

  • Frequency: At least 3 sessions per week
  • Duration: 30-45 minutes per session
  • Temperature: Set between 45°C – 55°C

Morning Or Night: When’s The Best Time For A Sauna?

The myriad health advantages of regular infrared sauna usage include relaxation, improved sleep, and an invigorating cardiovascular workout. Additionally, studies highlight that saunas can activate Cytochrome C Oxidase, thereby boosting energy levels. This poses the question: is it better to sauna in the morning or night?

Your preference might hinge on your sauna’s intended benefits, how it aligns with your daily schedule, and its impact on your body. 

  • A morning session can be excellent for enhanced flexibility, acting as a prelude to a workout. Other benefits include reduced work-related errors, a more consistent pulse rate, and sharpened mental focus.
  • An evening sauna might help relax post-workout muscles and pave the way for a restful sleep. Other benefits include stress relief after work, detoxification of lactic acid post-exercise, and enhanced weight loss (with diet and exercise).
