· Use an air purifier
Excess moisture in the air can lead to mould growth and dust mites, which may disrupt sleep and trigger allergies. An air purifier is perfect for improving air quality by removing excess room moisture, mould spores, and dust mites, enabling you to breathe easily throughout the night.
· Ditch the screens before bed
Blue light from phones and tablets interferes with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep. Try switching to a book or relaxing music instead.
· Create a wind-down routine
Relaxing activities like reading, stretching, or deep breathing help signal to your body that it’s time for rest.
