Sauna timer

Sessions of about 8 to 15 minutes at a time are typical, with a cool-down and a drink of water between rounds. Pick a session, press Start, and the timer tells you when to step out and when to go back in.

Sauna safety

• Most people stay in for about 10 to 15 minutes per session; beginners should start with 5 to 10.
• Get out right away if you feel dizzy, light-headed or sick.
• Drink water before and after, and avoid alcohol before or during a sauna.
• If you are pregnant, or have heart disease, low or high blood pressure or another health condition, ask your doctor before using a sauna.

Questions people ask

How long should you stay in a sauna?

About 10 to 15 minutes per session is typical, and 5 to 10 minutes for beginners. Leave sooner if you feel unwell.

How many sauna rounds should I do?

Two or three rounds with a cool-down and water in between is common. Listen to your body and stop if you feel dizzy.

Is a steam room the same as a sauna?

No. A steam room is much more humid at a lower temperature, and it can feel hotter, so sessions are usually shorter.
