Are Allergies Affecting Your Sleep Quality

You’ve just finished a long day and you’re ready to hit the bed and get a good night’s sleep. You change into your PJs, do your nighttime routine, crawl into your comfy bed, and get ready for a night of sweet dreams. Then it happens….Your eyes start to water, your nose becomes stuffy, and you get a sore throat. Now you’re stuck tossing and turning trying to combat these symptoms. But why does this only happen at night? Well, it could be caused by your mattress.

Mattresses can be home to allergens such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens that can affect your sleep. Not only will you not fall asleep when you want, but allergy symptoms can lead to sleep disruption and daytime fatigue. As you get less sleep your immune system also suffers, so it makes it harder for your body to fight when you are sick. Here are some ways to fight off allergens that can disrupt your sleep.

1. Keep your bedroom clean. Make sure you’re regularly vacuuming, dusting, and washing your sheets and comforter.
2. Use air purifiers to help improve air quality and remove allergens from your bedroom. You can invest in a high-quality air purifier, or you can get a plant that will help with your sleep and purify the air.
3. Purchase allergy-proof bedding. There are mattresses and sheets that can create a barrier against allergens. 
4. Clean your mattress. Especially if you let your fur baby sleep with you, cleaning your mattress regularly is essential to combat allergens.

Getting a good night’s sleep is a vital part of overall well-being. When you don’t sleep well your body doesn’t have the chance to recharge and rejuvenate. This can lead to being groggy in the morning, having less energy, a slower metabolism, and a weak immune system. When you don’t get enough sleep your entire body suffers.
