How long should I stay in an infrared sauna to reap the maximum benefits without overdoing it? Is there an optimal duration that balances efficacy and safety, or does it vary based on individual health and fitness levels? What should I consider regarding my body’s acclimatization to the heat, potential dehydration, or specific wellness goals I might have? For instance, would a novice user benefit from shorter sessions initially, perhaps around 15 to 20 minutes, gradually increasing as their body adapts? Conversely, how do seasoned users approach their infrared sauna experience, and what durations do they generally prefer? Is it wise to listen to my body’s signals during a session, perhaps taking breaks to cool down if it feels necessary? Moreover, at what point does duration shift from being beneficial to counterproductive? Could the type of infrared sauna also influence how long I should stay? Are differences between far-infrared and near-infrared saunas significant in this context?
