Named non-obvious connection of bed linen with fatigue in the morning

Morning fatigue, which persists even after eight hours of sleep, can be a consequence of allergies, poor bedroom air quality, or breathing disorders at night. This was told by the Times of India somnologist and therapist of Lilawati Hospital in Mumbai Pushkar A. Shikarhan.

According to the doctor, dust, pollen and mold cause swelling of the mucous membrane of the nose and airways, which makes it harder for air to pass. When a person lies down, blood flow to the mucous membranes increases, and breathing through the nose becomes even more difficult. In a dream, such a state is not easy to notice.

Another possible cause is obstructive sleep apnea. With it, breathing stops for short intervals. This leads to frequent awakenings and shortens the deep phase of sleep needed for recovery.

Shikarhane called the signs of apnea: loud snoring, episodes of choking and intermittent breathing. Also, the violation may indicate frequent night trips to the toilet and severe drowsiness during the day.

To reduce the effect of allergens, the doctor advises to regularly wash bedding, eliminate leaks that cause mold, and, if necessary, use an air purifier. If morning fatigue does not go away, especially with snoring and breathing disorders, you need to consult a doctor. To diagnose apnea, a specialist may prescribe a sleep study that will show respiratory arrest and assess the severity of the condition.
