Keep the room ventilated and control humidity to prevent mold
A room that is too stuffy will accumulate CO2, making you prone to headaches when you wake up. Make it a habit to open the window early in the morning for about 15-30 minutes to circulate natural air, pushing stagnant air out.
In addition, you should maintain the bedroom humidity at an ideal level (about 40% - 50%). If the room is too humid due to the weather, turn on the air conditioner's Dry mode or use a dehumidifier to prevent mold spores from growing on blankets, sheets, and bed mattresses.
Regularly clean blankets, sheets, pillows and mattresses to remove fine dust and dead cells
The bed is a place where many dead cells, sweat and dirt accumulate - the main food source of allergenic dust mites.
To keep the space fresh, you should replace and wash bed sheets and pillow covers periodically once a week with warm water.
For blanket and mattress cores, use a specialized vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to vacuum up fine dust particles hidden deep in the fabric layers.
Keeping the bed clean, fragrant with sunlight or mild soap will stimulate the brain to secrete relaxing hormones, helping you fall asleep more easily.
Minimize furniture and use air purifiers combined with mild essential oils
The more furniture in the bedroom, the more places there is for dust to linger and make you feel more visually suffocated. Clean up unnecessary items, especially electronics and old books and newspapers. Placing a small air purifier in the corner of the room will help remove allergens and invisible pet fur in the air.
About 30 minutes before going to bed, you can steam a little natural essential oil such as lavender, chrysanthemum or cedarwood to soothe the nervous system, preparing for a spa-standard deep sleep.
