Why do we enjoy hot showers and hot baths?

There’s this. When we are cold, we shiver: The muscles doing basically useless “make-work” just to burn energy and generate heat.

When we are hot, exactly the opposite happens: The muscles go into low-energy “power-saving” shut-down mode, to reduce the internal heat generation. That is why it is relaxing to be hot, and why hot weather makes people feel lethargic and floppy.
