During cold winter months – or even in the heat of the summer if your air conditioner is running non-stop – you may notice that the air in your home is dry. That’s because both heaters and air conditioners deplete your home’s air of moisture (or humidity), which can make it hard to get a good night's sleep. Including a humidifier in your sleep routine can help you sleep sweeter by giving you lots of savvy slumber solutions.
SNORING
Some of the most common causes of snoring are sinus-related. Dry air also contributes to snoring. If your snoring is caused by sinus problems or dry air (or both), a humidifier can help. Adding a humidifier to your bedroom will keep the air moist, which helps lubricate your sinuses and your throat. A humidifier can also help relieve congestion caused by allergies, colds, and other viruses.
DRY SKIN
Trying to sleep with itchy, dry skin is a nightmare. Dry air drains our skin of moisture, making us itch and causing chapped, cracked lips. Putting a humidifier near your bed can boost your bedroom’s humidity and keep your skin, lips, and even your hair hydrated. No more nighttime scratching.
PRO TIP: Static electricity is also caused by low indoor humidity. If crawling into bed gets you shocked, then a humidifier can help!
RELAXATION
Unwinding after a long day can be tough, and stress can also cut into your sleep schedule. If you have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep, try a humidifier with an essential oil diffuser. Humidifiers with built-in diffusers are a great two-in-one option for sleep: they humidify your bedroom while releasing your favorite relaxing scent (like lavender) into the air.
CONGESTION
Nasal congestion caused by allergies, colds, flu, and other viruses can make it almost impossible to sleep when you’re sick. Humidifiers can help by soothing irritated sinuses and throats, and even help break up congestion. You can help the healing along by adding mentholated liquids to the medicine cup on our Ozark steam humidifier. You can also add eucalyptus essential oil to our ultrasonic models to help open up sinuses.
