Allergies/Skin Disorder
Around 4 in 10 Australians have an allergic disease and more than 8 in 10 Australians with asthma have tested positive to a form of allergy.1 Many of these allergies are to food and environmental factors such as dust and dust mites, pet fur/dander (proteins from pet skin), pollen etc., and can lead to an increased prevalence of asthma, hay fever, sinusitis/rhinitis and skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
Skin conditions such eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis can greatly affect you and your family’s quality of sleep. As sleep is the time for the body to repair from illness and wounds – it is important to create the healthiest sleep environment possible.
Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis
Atopic eczema/dermatitis is a common form of skin condition affecting 1 in 3 Australians at some stage throughout their life. Sleep disturbance is one of the most reported problems for people with skin disorders. Sufferers often have dry, irritable skin that is inflamed and very itchy.
It is important to avoid anything that tends to aggravate the skin. Common environmental irritants include soaps on skin, clothing and bedding. Wool and nylon fabric can cause overheating and some cotton fabrics can also be too coarse for irritated skin. Pollen, house dust mites, and animal dander can aggravate skin disorders.
Choosing clothing and bedding such as Elite and CumfySafe® sheets and pillowcases that are made from natural eucalyptus Tencel®, can help control body temperature and improve sleep quality.
