After Work The sauna relaxes muscles and minds tired from work. In the olden times, people sauna-bathed most often in the summer, after sweltering days of farm labour. Smoke saunas were heated at least twice a week in the summer and once a week in the winter. Today, many Finns go to sauna every day after work. While in sauna, people don’t usually talk about work, but rather about life in general. The staff facilities of factories often have a sauna where people can cleanse themselves both physically and mentally after a hard day’s work.
