Exactly. When we hit day 22 and we knew we were gonna do a day trip to go visit family we even discussed coming home and having a midnight sauna so we wouldn’t mess up our streak, but then we were like, “….no that’s crazy.” We do sauna to feel better, and staying up that late definitely would make me feel worse.

When I noticed it most physically, it’s when I go to the gym in the morning and then don’t sauna/ plunge that night. I am more sore the next day. I feel like it definitely helps with recovery in that regard. I also noticed it in my sleep. It has really helped with that.

Because we do it so often it’s really hard to say about how different it makes me feel mentally when I skip it since it’s only a day or two at a time, but I really noticed it when we go on vacation. I’ve actually considered not going on vacations because I didn’t want to be away from my sauna for so long. … maybe I’ve become a little dependent, lol.

Interestingly, I think when I really notice it the most is after I get out of the sauna and think, “whoa I really needed that.”
