Best Answer

When I was a kid and my parents built a sauna to our summer cottage, I spent two hours straight in the sauna, but that is pretty hardcore even on my standards. As long as you as you keep yourself hydrated, there is no real time limit how long you can be in a sauna. A normal sauna session usually consists of several short 5-20 minute sessions (depending on the amount of löyly thrown and the temperature of the sauna) where you go cool off in between.

What are some safety tips for using a sauna?

Stay inside the sauna for no more than 30 minutes at a time and then lie down 10 minutes after use. If you use the sauna once a day, the evening is probably the best time. If you are ill, however, the morning may prove a better time because your energy levels are higher. Make sure you drink plenty of mineralized water before and after the sauna. Add minerals or juice to your water if it is mineral-free. It is also a good idea to add extra sea salt to your diet to replace minerals lost through sweating in the sauna. Use the sauna under supervision if you have a chronic condition. If you are debilitated or very sensitive to heat, begin with a shorter period of time in the sauna. The presence of an attendant or friend in the sauna can also be very helpful.
