Let’s talk about something that’s often underestimated but massively disruptive sleeping with allergies.
If you’ve ever climbed into bed only to end up sneezing, sniffling, or struggling to breathe through a blocked nose, you’ll know just how exhausting it can be. Allergies don’t care that it’s bedtime. And when your body is busy fighting invisible irritants all night, deep, restorative sleep becomes so much harder to come by.
Allergies and Sleep = A Tough Combo
For so many people, the bedroom is meant to be your calm, safe space. It is also a hub for allergens. Dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mould spores can all find their way into bedding, mattresses, and pillows… and they can leave you waking up feeling more drained than when you went to sleep.
If this is your nightly struggle, you’re not alone. Secondly, there are steps you can take to reduce the disruption and create a sleep space that feels safe, clear, and calm.
Five Simple Ways to Sleep Better with Allergies
- Keep your room fresh and clean
Regularly hoover carpets and mattresses, wash bedding on a high heat (60°C is ideal), and open windows during the day to air out the space, especially if moisture or condensation builds up. - Wash away the day
A quick shower before bed can rinse off any pollen or allergens clinging to your skin and hair, so you’re not taking them to bed with you. - Limit pet time in the bedroom
I know, I know. It’s hard, especially if your pet is your cuddle buddy! But pet dander is a major allergy trigger, so it’s worth keeping pets out of the bedroom where possible. - Use an air purifier
These helps trap allergens in the air before they settle into your bedding or float up your nose in the middle of the night. - Upgrade your bedding with the Allergy Defence Range.
