Spring Allergies Impact Sleep Quality for Many
Springtime, often associated with blooming flowers and sunny days, can be a challenging season for individuals suffering from allergies. According to Flow Space, allergies can significantly disrupt sleep due to symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Shelby Harris, a sleep psychologist, explains that allergies keep the body in a state of irritation and inflammation, making it difficult to fall and stay asleep. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can exacerbate these issues, as fluctuating levels of progesterone and estrogen increase sensitivity in nasal passages. Common allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander are prevalent during this season, contributing to poor sleep quality.
