Spring is the season of renewal – It signifies blooming flowers, changes in weather, and longer days. But the lethargic atmosphere of spring can make it difficult to sleep. The shift in the climatic conditions, rise in allergens, and daily duration changes can disturb good-quality rest. This blog is all about explaining the details of the spring’s impact on sleep patterns and providing suggestions to help combat these issues. 

In addition, moving forward, we will show you all the alternative herbal therapy options available from Nature Creation to target better sleep during this transition period.

How Spring Affects Sleep

  • Longer Days and Increased Light Exposure

Springtime brings longer days due to the sun rising earlier and setting later. This can throw off the body’s circadian rhythm and cause difficulties falling asleep at your normal time. Additionally, evening light can delay the secretion of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, resulting in rest deprivation.

  • Warmer Temperatures

Springtime is associated with warmer weather, which can also impact rest. A cooler environment for sleeping (usually between 60-67°F) is ideal for restful sleep, but as nights get warmer, discomfort can arise, leading to waking up during the night.

  • Seasonal Allergic Reactions

During this season, one should expect allergies to kick in because many plants, like trees, grasses, and flowers, let loose their pollen. Allergies usually result in sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion, symptoms that worsen one’s ability to breathe and rest comfortably.

  • Springtime Lethargy

Strangely, some people feel a bit sleepy during the spring season even though the sun stays longer. This could be associated with the body adapting to changes in daylight, disrupting sleeping patterns, or the attack of spring allergens that drain out energy.

How to Adjust and Improve Your Sleep During Spring

  • Follow a Routine Sleep Plan

Make an effort to sleep and wake up at a constant time every single day, including weekends. Doing this should make it less difficult for you to fall asleep while waking up completely rejuvenated.

  • Light Cancellation

To block early morning light, keep your bedroom light-free by using blackout curtains or eye masks. Before sleep, use the Lavender Eye Mask, which adds soothing lavender aroma with a combination of darkness, helping to enhance relaxation further.

  • Keep Your Bedroom Cool

Sleep becomes more difficult when temperatures increase, which is why you should set your thermostat to cool your room, along with breathable bedding and a fan or air purifier to create a comfortable sleeping atmosphere.

  • Reduce Allergens in Your Sleep Space

Reduce allergens by regularly washing your bedding, closing the windows during pollen seasons, and turning on the air purifier. A Mint Pack from Nature Creation is perfect for soothing discomfort brought on by allergies. This herbal pack can be utilized to soothe sinus congestion and tension through soothing warmth.

  • Limit Evening Screen Time

Screens emit blue light, which inhibits melatonin, and sleep becomes harder to achieve. Try shutting down all devices an hour before sleep and focus more on mentally engaging activities such as reading or stretching.

  • Practice Relaxation Techniques

Put into practice the art of relaxation through meditation, deep breathing, or a warm herbal heating pad to ease stress and sleep better. Relax those weary muscles after a long day with the help of the Full Treatment Set from Nature Creation, which soothes tension and helps you unwind.

  • Keep Yourself Hydrated and Avoid Caffeine Late at Night

Too little water intake can lead to tiredness while drinking right before bed can increase the need to visit the bathroom. Try your best to drink more during the day and stop drinking caffeinated drinks at least 6 hours prior to your sleep.

. Use Essential Oils for Relaxation

Since lavender and chamomile scents are relaxing, they can help fulfill aromatherapy purposes. The use of microwavable heating pads infused with aromas of lavender or chamomile can be both cozy and provide soothing aromatherapy to help rest the body.

Final Words

The changing of the season from winter to spring can cause sleep issues, but rest assured, with these tips, you will be sleeping peacefully. Using a proper and planned sleep schedule, taking care of allergens, cooling the room, and using additional relaxation techniques can help you sleep better during springtime.
