Is Your Hair Making You Snore at Night?

One of the main reasons why we snore at night is because we have a problem with allergies.  Most of us realize that we are allergic to something, usually something that is in the air around our home.  During the day, we are subjected to various types of allergens that include everything from tree pollen to dog dander.  The one place that we don’t want to be subjected to these allergens is whenever we enter into the bedroom.  Why is that the case?

Whenever we sleep, we naturally breathe deeper and this can pull any allergens that are in your bedroom more deeply into your sinuses and lungs.  Even those of us who have a very light allergy and are able to deal with it without much trouble will recognize that we are more affected during the night than we are during the day.  If you find that you are snoring regularly then you might need to do something in order to get these allergens out of your bedroom.  Believe it or not, there may be a culprit in this case that you have not considered before.

Our hair works like a magnet for pollen and during the day, all of the pollen that comes into contact with our hair is going to stick in it to a certain extent.  If you have long hair, you can be breathing the pollen all through the night directly from your hair but even if your hair is short, it will transfer to the pillow and then right into your lungs.  That is why it’s important to make sure that you wash your hair thoroughly every night before going to bed.  It may seem like a simple thing but this is certainly something that you should do and can make a large difference in how much you snore.

Other allergens should also be removed from the bedroom in one way or another.  Do not put cologne on before going to bed and trying to avoid any type of scented soaps or shampoos.  If the dog sleeps in the bedroom with you, make other arrangements so that you are not breathing the dander through the night.  Above all, get a high quality air filter for your bedroom so that you are breathing clean air while you are sleeping.  By taking these steps and reducing the amount of allergens that are in your bedroom, you will have the best chance to have a snore free night.
