It may seem silly, but honestly, if you need a fix, a DIY sauna will work for a day or two until you can make it to the next sauna.

In essence, while there may not be hard and fast rules for how to behave in every situation, there is a basic expectation that people will behave in a way that is considerate and respectful of others. Sauna etiquette is sort of like that. So, in order to “not be a dick,” it’s important to be mindful of how your actions affect others, and to make an effort to behave in a way that is kind, empathetic, and respectful.
