Allergy Relief

I have pretty bad allergies, so If my room has a lot of dust floating around then sleeping is next to impossible. I find that the biggest problem is not so much the dust in the air, but the dust and dust mites that have settled into the fabric. After the dust particles have settled into the fabric I breathe them directly in when I roll around on my mattress. After that, forget about it, its a little too late to remedy the situation.

It wasn't until I saw an allergist that I even knew what I was allergic to. Now I know that I'm allergic to just about every form of dust. So these are the steps I take to keep my symptoms under control.

First I bought hypoallergenic pillows and a hypoallergenic mattress cover which minimizes the amount of dust mites that nest in your sheets. I also make sure to wash my sheets and blankets about two times a week to keep the dust particles to a minimum. Lastly I try and carpet clean my rug once a week to keep the rugs clean and dust free.

So my nighttime allergy symptoms have gone to almost unbearable to slightly mild with daily doses of doctor prescribed medications as well as a few adjustments to my sleeping arrangements. So if you have trouble sleeping at night because of nasal congestion, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, and coughing you could be the victim of dust allergies. Why wait? Talk to your doctor as soon as you can and see if you can pin-point the problem.
