Give me ENERGY!

One of the most original and useful tips I received about sleep was to change my pillowcase often. In fact, my doctor told me to change my pillowcase daily! For many of us, this could be very effective if we are also prone to being allergenic.

As Laura found out yesterday,

Apparently, when you wash your clothes they don’t exactly come out as clean as we think. Our clean laundry still has dust mites, and pollen residue, and dog dander.

While I don’t do it anymore, changing the pillowcase daily became a part of my “get ready for sleep” routine. While it adds to the washing, it helped me to feel like a had a new bed made every time I went to sleep. We often don’t notice it, but being prone to allergies, even whatever collects on a pillowcase, can affect how deeply we sleep, and how fast we go to sleep.

With a washing detergent that is very mild, and a fresh pillowcase, it’s amazing how content it can make you feel, and how much deeper you might sleep. Why not give it a try for a few nights and see what happens?
