How to sleep with allergies

2. Invest in air purifier. Using an air purifier in your bedroom is an effective way to improve your sleep quality with allergies. An air purifier is great for getting rid of those pesky allergens in the air, reducing your allergy symptoms and improving the overall air quality in your bedroom. Look for a purifier with a HEPA filter, which can trap even the tiniest particles and pollutants.

3. Get anti-allergy bedding. It can make a huge difference in your sleep quality. Anti-allergy bedding is specifically made by using unti-dust mite coatings or is specifically designed to repel allergens and prevent them from accumulating in your pillows and duvets. It's usually bedding made from synthetic materials or tightly woven fabrics.

5. Keep pets out of your bed. As much as you love your furry friend, their dander can trigger allergies. But not only! Did you know that common allergens, like pollen and dust, can stick to your pet's fur? If your pet ends up in your bed, they can then transfer the allergens to your bedding.

6. Use a saline nasal spray. A quick squirt of a saline nasal spray can help clear your nasal passages and reduce inflammation. Use it before bedtime to breathe easily and catch some Z's!

7. Elevate your head. When you lie down, your allergy symptoms can sometimes get worse. Try putting an extra pillow under your head to raise it up a bit. This can help reduce congestion and make breathing easier.

8. Avoid allergens before bed. Try to stay away from allergens before bedtime. Keep your windows and doors shut during allergy season and avoid going outside when pollen counts are high. Shower before bed to wash away any allergens on your skin and hair.

Why are pollen allergies worse at night?

Do you sometimes feel like your pollen allergy intensifies at night? So is it true - is pollen actually higher at night? The answer is no. The pollen levels are usually highest in the early morning. So why are your pollen allergies worse at night? It might be because at night, you're adding indoor triggers to the mix. You're also lying down at night, which can make your congestion worse.

If you're struggling to find relief from your allergies, it may be time to consult with a doctor. They can help identify the specific allergens triggering your symptoms and recommend treatment options, such as medication or allergy shots, to help alleviate your symptoms.

So there you have it - some tips to help you sleep better with allergies. By following these simple tricks, you can reduce your allergy symptoms and get some well-deserved rest.
