2. Don’t Lie Down or Nap Immediately After Bathing
Why:
Warm water dilates your blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. If you lie down or fall asleep too quickly, circulation may drop even further. This can lead to dizziness, fainting, or inadequate blood flow to the brain — all of which may raise the risk of stroke in vulnerable individuals.
What to do instead:
Stay upright for at least 15–30 minutes after bathing. Light activity, such as gentle stretching or preparing a cup of tea, helps your body regulate circulation.
