The cold season is here. It's the time of winter sports, snow, but also cold noses, cold bronchi and aching limbs. And so it happens that we often lie in bed in the evening, shivering or sweating, and find it very difficult to fall asleep due to stuffy noses.
How do you manage to keep your bed hygienically clean, especially during flu season, and what tips are there to get a restful sleep even when you have a cold?
Improved hygiene thanks to underbeds - the insider tip during flu season.
Underbeds are particularly indispensable during cold and flu season. They prevent heat build-up, ensure breathability and an optimal sleeping environment under the duvet. If you're sweating because of a fever, you can simply wash the underblanket at 60 degrees and equip your bed with a spare underblanket in the meantime.This keeps the mattress clean and dry and the bed hygienically clean.
5 tips - Fall asleep better during cold and flu season.
-
TIP 1: It's tea time.
Decaffeinated black tea is rich in antioxidants and contains, among other things, theobromine, a natural substance that relaxes the bronchi. -
TIP 2: Darken the bedroom well.
Light signals to the body that it is time to get up. However, if the room is dark, melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleepy, is produced. -
TIP 3: Room temperature.
The room temperature should ideally be between 16-18 degrees (recommendation by the US Sleep Foundation). Arms and shoulders should be well protected from cooling down with clothing and a blanket. -
TIP 4: Store the head elevated.
Supporting your head with an extra pillow brings relaxation. The pressure in the paranasal sinuses decreases when you are elevated and breathing becomes easier again. -
TIP 5: Optimum sleeping climate thanks to breathable duvets and underblankets.
Breathable duvets, pillows and, above all, underblankets ensure an optimal sleeping environment - keep you warm and prevent heat build-up.
