Showering Before Bed - Is It a Good or a Bad Idea?

It can make your heart race.

If you’ve ever felt like your heart beats faster after a hot shower, there’s actually a scientific explanation for this. Hot water raises your blood pressure, and medical experts warn that it can even superheat your body and cause stress to your heart. When your heart is racing, you are likely to spend the night tossing and turning, which eventually may lead to even more health problems.
