This is by Finnish researchers. Finland has no “sauna industry” that would need lobbying, everyone basically has one or has access to one alredy.
- ng55QPSK 5y agobtw: It's only a rumor that every Nokia office has a sauna.
- paulcole 5y agoThis is kind of like why in America there’s no advertising for sodas because everyone buys them already.
- fsloth 5y agoThat's just it. In Finland sauna is something that is an expected utility in a house like a bedroom or toilet. So while there is research in how sleep or toilet behaviour affects health, there is no "bedroom" industry trying to upsell the benefit of having a distinct room for your bed, or a toilet industry convincing you it's a good idea to use the loo.
