Each of us, sometime or the other, face difficulty in getting off to sleep, especially after an intense and a stressful day. Often though, all it takes to soothe away fatigue and sleep better is a hot shower in the evening. Let’s find out why and look at some tips on how to make this remedy even more effective.
 
Multiple benefits 
That enjoying a hot shower in the evening brings all sorts of benefits has been proven by the results of research by Japanese E.J. Sung and J. Tochihara, as published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology and Applied Human Science. Based on meticulous medical tests on the sample of volunteers taking part in the survey, the study in fact showed that a hot shower before going to bed can help: 
<ul>
	<li>ease muscular tension;</li>
	<li>decongest the respiratory tract;</li>
	<li>regulate heartbeat;</li>
	<li>normalize the nervous system.</li>
</ul>
 
Choosing the right moment 
For a hot shower to really help you sleep better it’s important to choose the right time in the evening: neither just before going to bed nor not too early, as experts at the Center for Sleep Medicine at the NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center have determined. This is because body temperature plays an important role in defining our biorhythm. In normal conditions, in fact, the body tends to gradually store heat till late afternoon, then it starts to release it later and cool down in preparation for sleep. A hot shower just before going to bed would risk interrupting this natural cycle and partially neutralize the benefits described above.
So Dr Dianne Augelli of the Center for Sleep Medicine advises us to have our hot shower around 90 minutes before going to bed, thus giving the body time to naturally disperse heat.
 
The right temperature of the water 
The research quoted above has shown that for someone without any particular health problems the ideal water temperature for full relaxation is generally between 30° and 37°. To have this available on a daily basis without sending your gas/electricity bills through the roof we could choose a heat pump water heater like Ariston’s Nuos Evo A+ , which can save us around 70% in energy costs compared to an electric one.

How to improve your sleep with a hot shower?

Water heaters: how to choose the right model? Are you moving to a new home or are replacing an old water heater that has suddenly broken down? Or is it just that your current model is obsolete and you'd like a more modern one, and maybe with a higher capacity too? Whatever your reasons are for buying a new water heater, we'd love to help with three factors to keep in mind when choosing the best model for us.
<ul>
 	<li>Research the various types available in the market: Gas, electric, renewable energy or even wood: there are various types of water heater available on the market nowadays. In general, if you’re replacing an electric or gas model, our tip is to opt for a solution that doesn’t mean renewing your whole system.</li>
 	<li>If it’s an electric water heater, look at its capacity: A key factor to consider when choosing an electric water heater is its capacity, which will depend above all on our daily hot water requirement. The needs of a one person living in a studio apartment with one bathroom are going to be very different from that of a family with two bathrooms. Generally speaking, we would say that a family of four needs a water heater for at least 100 litres, which would provide enough hot water for at least four showers a day. It’s also important not to underestimate the energy aspects. Given that electric water heaters consume a lot of energy, we recommend choosing a high efficiency model.</li>
 	<li>Important characteristics: When buying a new water heater, it’s important to consider the following characteristics:
<ul>
 	<li>warranty: most water heaters last around 8 years, so it’s best to opt for a warranty that covers the longest period possible and gives you peace of mind about any failures that might occur during the water heater’s life cycle;</li>
 	<li>memory function: the most up to date water heaters have special software for storing usage data. This is a highly useful optional that can automatically adjust temperature and power settings to avoid wasting energy;</li>
 	<li>trouble shooting function: essential for identifying problems and finding remedies without unnecessarily contacting technical assistance.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Water heaters: how to choose the right model?

When choosing a water heater, people often tend to underestimate the importance of energy efficiency and focus on things like price, dimensions or design, for example. But energy efficiency is an aspect to consider very carefully, especially as a long term investment: let’s find out why…
 
It guarantees savings on bills
A high efficiency water heater consumes less energy than a traditional one and therefore makes it easy to recover any additional costs.
 
It’s environmentally friendly
A high efficiency water heater is the ideal solution for people keen to safeguard the environment (as well as their incomes) because it consumes less energy and emits smaller amounts of polluting gases into the atmosphere.
 
It lasts longer and requires little maintenance
A high energy efficiency water heater generally lasts longer than a traditional one (15 years, on average, for a class A water heater against 8 years for class B or C models). It’s also important to remember that this type of water heater requires less maintenance (robust manufacturing to guarantee maximum efficiency). All these factors make high efficiency water heaters the best solution for those who want to safeguard their investment as long as possible.

Why choose a high energy efficiency water heater?

This handy mini-guide shows how to solve 3 of the most frequent problems that can occur if you have an electric water heater. Here are some tips: 

Is your water heater noisey?
If your electric water heater is making strange noises, it might be due to limescale deposited over the years on the inside of the tank. This is a fairly frequent situation, especially in cities where drinking water has high levels of calcium in it.

To get rid of the noise proceed as follows:
<ul>
 	<li>set the switch on the water heater to “Off” as well as turning the home’s main power switch</li>
 	<li>shut off the water valve in the bathroom to avoid flooding;</li>
 	<li>drain the water (having first made sure it’s cooled down) into a bucket;</li>
 	<li>leave the water heater off for a few hours and then fill it again after turning on the water valve and the tap and put the main power switch back on.</li>
</ul>
In this way we ought to have eliminated the noise, as well as having made our water heater more efficient.
Because when limescale builds up, water heating times tend to rise, which pushes up electricity bills. If the problem persists, we call a technician to carry out a thorough cleaning of the inner walls of the tank. 

It doesn’t produce any hot water
First of all we should check that the taps connecting the electric water heater to the plumbing are actually open: if they are, the problem may be a locked safety valve, which often happens when an electric water heater has been inactive for a long time. In this case, to release the valve, we’ll have to do what the instcution manual tells us, but only after switching off the home’s main power switch and closing the water valve in the bathroom. 

It’s leaking

If it’s leaking from the lower part of the water heater, the problem will often be a malfunctioning of the resistance. To free it from limescale, proceed as in point 1 above. If the problem persists, we recommend calling out a specialist technician to replace the resistance or maybe check whether it’s time to replace the whole electric water heater: click here to discover Ariston’s most innovative models, which can guarantee advanced performance and high thermal comfort.
