1. Right After Waking Up – Your body is still in a resting state when you wake up—blood pressure and circulation are lower. Jumping into a hot bath can redirect blood to the skin and reduce supply to vital organs, causing dizziness or fainting. It’s better to stretch, eat, or move around before bathing. 2. Immediately After Eating – Bathing right after a meal diverts blood from your digestive organs to your skin, interfering with digestion. This can lead to bloating and discomfort. Wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after eating before you bathe. 3. Late at Night Before Bed – Bathing after 10 p.m., especially with hot water, can disrupt your body’s natural cooling process needed for sleep. It may also trigger blood pressure changes. Bathe 1–2 hours before bed instead, allowing your body to relax and cool down. 4. Right After Exercise – After working out, your heart rate and blood pressure are elevated. A bath—especially cold—can cause blood vessels to constrict, risking cardiovascular strain. Cool down and let your body stabilize before bathing
