Most people think that warm showers make you sleepy and comfortable (partially true) while cold showers are designed to wake you up and tone your muscles (partially true). As usual, reality tends to be a little different. Hot showers do not make you sleepy because heat does not make us sleep better.
The ancient Indian term for very cold showers is ishnan. This refers to the moment when your body achieves the temperature with which it can defend itself against the cold water. Ishnan kicks in when the cold water first hits your skin, causing your capillaries (small blood vessels near the skinâs surface) to open.
