Do not eat, drink alcohol or take drugs before you take a sauna as you could become nauseated, dizzy and may become unconscious. The benches and oors may be slippery, use caution when moving around the sauna. Never throw water on the stones when there are people near the stove, because hot steam may burn their skin. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of water before and after the sauna. Do not stay in a sauna for longer than 15 to 20 minutes. Taking a break, 10 minutes is advised (or go for a swim) before reentering is advised. Leave the sauna immediately if you start to feel dizzy, nauseous, or lightheaded, and let a member of staff know you are not feeling well. Do not use the sauna if you have an open wound.
