Post Sauna Cold Plunge Gap
The post sauna cold plunge gap is a short neutral pause between heat and cold that reduces dizziness and makes contrast rounds safer.
The post sauna cold plunge gap is the brief pause—thirty to ninety seconds—between leaving dry heat and entering cold water so blood pressure and breath stabilize. Jumping straight from maximal heat into ice spikes dizziness and vagal responses in some people.
Use the gap to hydrate, towel off sweat, and set a time cap for cold.
