Why are my hay fever symptoms worse at night?
Hay fever symptoms can worsen at night due to several factors, including increased exposure to allergens indoors and changes in air quality. Dust mites and pet dander, common triggers, are often more concentrated in bedding and carpets. Additionally, the body's natural rhythms may make you more sensitive to these allergens during the night.
Key points:
- Indoor allergens like dust mites can accumulate in bedding.
- Air quality may decline in the evening, increasing irritants.
- Your body's sensitivity can fluctuate based on time of day.
- Allergens from outside can linger indoors after sunset.
