🌡️ A good habit to adopt in the shower: take very hot showers just before going to bed
Many older people have a habit of taking a long shower or a hot bath just before going to bed. While this can relax sore muscles, the sudden drop in blood pressure that follows can cause a feeling of unsteadiness when getting out of the shower or during the night.
