Air Purifier Systems and Better Mornings

The quest to find a solution for feeling lousy in the mornings, is one of the main reasons people call ClearFlite looking for an air purifier, and for answers about why they feel so congested, lethargic, and very “unready’ to face the day. ClearFlite’s vast experience with customers in the past ten years have proven that a quality air purifier, typically a HEPA unit, can make a difference, but there are actually several other steps that should be taken as well.

In many cases, people who wake up feeling poorly do so because of their allergy to dust, particularly the trillions of microscopic dust mites upon which they have been sleeping. Lying flat can make breathing more difficult in the first place, but lying in a prone position amongst the allergens that irritate your air passages is worse. Washing your pillow cases and bedding frequently in very hot water is helpful. Pillow case covers and other non-allergenic bedding can be useful, but often they aren’t as comfortable as the pillow case you’ve worn to the perfect softness. Changing pillow cases nightly is not a bad idea. An air purifier running near your bed will also help because every time your covers are moved or thrown about, the particles rise into the air and can be filtered by the air purifier. The ones that are ground down in to your pillow case and sheets need to be washed out with hot soapy water.

Morning malady can also be found in people who have sinus problems. In fact, seasonal allergies can precipitate a sinus event. Allergies cause swelling and inflammation in the tracts of the nose which can lead to sinus problems. Mold can also be a contributor to bringing on sinus attacks. A good HEPA air purifier will remove the tiny particles of ragweed and grass, and mold spores, along with many other allergens that attack us, even in the bedroom. These allergens ride in on our clothes and shoes, as well as coming in through doors and windows. So continuously running an air purifier, as well as washing the bedding frequently, and taking other actions if necessary to protect yourself from dust mites, is part of the solution to early morning congestion and feeling poorly.

Overall, it’s very important to keep your bedroom, and those of your children, super clean spaces used primarily for sleeping. The windows if possible should be kept closed, and the door kept closed as well. The air purifier will clean more powerfully in a confined space. Running continuously, it will get the room cleaner and cleaner, so that the bedroom becomes a sanctuary for sleep. Besides the use of an air purifier, and keeping the bedding as clean as possible, complete darkness has also been found to be critical in promoting deep sleep. Showering before sleep so that allergens are cleaned from your skin and hair, and sleeping in a clean, cool, dark room will help you to wake feeling more healthy and refreshed and less congested. Better mornings can be achieved with a few simple steps and good HEPA air purifiers.
