ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how sauna bathing affects sleep, mood, and stress levels in healthy men. Researchers believe that using a sauna regularly can provide both physical and mental health benefits, potentially improving sleep quality. The trial is looking for male participants aged 65 to 74 who are generally healthy and willing to give their written consent to join. However, individuals who take certain medications, have a history of sleep or neurological disorders, are professional athletes, or regularly use saunas will not be eligible to participate.

Participants in this study can expect to engage in sauna sessions and share feedback about their sleep and mood. The trial aims to better understand the positive effects of sauna bathing, which may include relaxation and improved sleep quality.
