If you wonder why perspective, creativity, insights and ideas seem to come more easily in a hot tub, there’s actually a scientific explaination for it. Dr. Bruce Becker explains that immersion therapy in water atleast 102° F (40° C) helps your autonomic nervous system fall into balance more quickly, and the increased blood flow to the brain increases cognitive functions. 

Whether you’re more of an artistic/philosophical type or more of a scientific/mathematical type, a hot tub can expand your mind and help you think better. So rather than numbing you brain in front of a screen, try working things out on your head while enjoying a nice soak. Just try to show some restraint when you get a great insight. Or not, give your neighbors something to talk about.
