Hot baths work occasionally for me as well, but it’s an odd game. Typically they only work after 2:00am and when I’m so exhausted I’m stumbling like a drunk. I’ve never measured the actual temp, but I set it as hot as I can tolerate. I soak and until the water cools. If I’m fortunate, I can then sle...

The unit I use doesn't really have settings, per say. there are two numeric counters (a bright blue light in the dark) that flank a power button.
