Spring is a warm welcome after the winter. But the new season might bring sleep issues, so learn these seven tips to maximize your sleep this spring! 

<p>Spring is right around the corner, which means daylight saving time is here, and we lose an hour of sleep. That can bring many, many sleep challenges for some people, but we want to help you get over those hurdles. And why we are sharing these amazing tips on springing forward with better sleep.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Ease Into Time</h2>
<p><img alt="father and son reading book before bed" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_mattress/Q1_2022/Matt_spring-time-sleep-tips_1.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>Make gradual tweaks to reduce the impact of the change to daylight saving time. Start going to bed 15 minutes earlier (and if you have any, your children to bed 15 minutes earlier) several days before the shift. Make an extra effort to get plenty of rest in the week leading up to the time change.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Check the Humidity</h2>
<h2></h2>
<p>While summertime humidity is more noticeable, springtime humidity may make a significant difference to your sleep without you knowing and creep up on you.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Humidity makes the air feel warmer, interfering with your capacity to regulate your body temperature at night. Using an air conditioner or dehumidifier can assist with night sweats and congestion. If you combine this approach with some lighter, seasonal sleepwear, you&rsquo;ll be fast asleep until summer.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Don&rsquo;t Forget your Allergies</h2>
<p><img alt="girl blowing her nose" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_mattress/Q1_2022/Matt_spring-time-sleep-tips_2.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>Pollen and other allergens are released into the air for the first time in months as spring flowers blossom, prompting your allergies to resurface in a big way. If you suffer from allergies, it&rsquo;s essential that you focus on taking preventative measures.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you have allergies, you should try avoiding going outside early in the mornings when pollen counts are high or on dry, windy days when pollen is swirling around the air. By keeping your house clean, you can avoid things like dust mites, mold, and pet dander, which can trigger your allergies.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Using pillows and bedding that are hypoallergenic can be highly beneficial in helping you keep your allergies at bay while asleep. You can also try showering at night rather than in the morning. This will wash away any remaining allergens from the day, allowing you to sleep more soundly and reducing your chances of waking up feeling worse than when you went to bed.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Get Some Sun</h2>
<p><img alt="woman doing work in kitchen while in the sun" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_mattress/Q1_2022/Matt_spring-time-sleep-tips_3.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>After you get up, go outside and grab some sunshine! Whether it&rsquo;s walking the dog or sitting outside with a morning cup of coffee, the sun will aid in the setting of your internal clock, which regulates things like your sleep-wake cycle. If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of time to spend outside in the natural light throughout the day, try putting your workspace near a window where the sun shines in.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Don&rsquo;t Overstimulate</h2>
<p></p>
<p>Caffeine, which can be found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and some pain medicines, can disrupt sleep. Avoid caffeine for 4 to 6 hours before sleep to avoid having difficulties sleeping. Tobacco, another stimulant, should not be consumed too close to bedtime.</p>
<p></p>
<p>While alcohol may appear to help you sleep, it actually acts as a stimulant after a few hours, increasing the number of times you wake up during the night. Your sleep quality will suffer as a result of this.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Relax Before Bedtime</h2>
<p><img alt="woman writing in notebook before bed" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_mattress/Q1_2022/Matt_spring-time-sleep-tips_4.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>Overstimulation, tension, worry, and anxiety are all factors that can make falling asleep difficult. So, around an hour before your bedtime, do things that will help you relax. Do things that calm your mind rather than overwork it, whether it&rsquo;s taking a warm bath, reading a nice book, journaling, or cuddling with your pet.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If anxiety keeps you up at night, make a timetable for the next day before going to bed, including potential answers to any problems you may encounter.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And if you&rsquo;re concerned about missing a deadline the next day, go to bed and work early the next day. Don&rsquo;t work into the wee hours of the morning. Rest is necessary for your mind.</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Exercise During the Day</h2>
<p></p>
<p>Even light exercise, such as walking, can improve your sleep. Three times a week or more, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity. But if you still have trouble sleeping, avoid doing heavy exercise at least 4 hours before bedtime.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There are numerous approaches to dealing with spring weariness. One of the straightforward approaches to ensure that you get the finest possible sleep starts with resting on a sturdy, comfy <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.sierramattresscompany.com/catalog/mattresses/" target="_blank">mattress</a></span> from !
