Yes, your home is a haven for pollutants. You would breathe betteroutside. . . except pollen and allergen counts are at all time high thisyear. So let’s try to eliminate some of the common sources of indoorair pollution.

The problem: Depending on what they are made of, carpets andpaint can both emit chemicals and odors. Upholstered furniture anddrapes, even if cleaned regularly, can harbor dust, irritants and petdander. Homes with smokers can have second hand smoke clingingto all surfaces.

The solution: Dust can’t be entirely eliminated, but vacuum anddust surfaces in the main living area as often as possible. If you havea family member with severe allergies – replacing carpet with woodor tile can be an excellent solution. Smokers should be encouragedto smoke outside. An Air Purification device or Ultraviolet lights alsooffer very effective ways to eliminate irritants, bacteria, and odorsfrom the air in your home. Your Merrell professional can give youinformation on purification products that could help you.

The problem: Bedrooms can harbor dust mites, dander and otherallergens and respiratory irritants. Cleaning products often containVOCs (volatile organic compounds) that release chemicals that canlead to respiratory irritation and liver or kidney damage.

The solution: If building a new home, use furnishings, floor andwindow coverings that have minimal or no chemical treatments.Low VOC paint and new “organic” cleaning supplies that are VOC-free, will help you avoid the release of chemical gases into yourrooms. Always wash sheets and other linens regularly. This canconsiderably cut down on the amount of dust in sleep areas.

Lack of sleep is our top health problem.Nearly half of all Americans havedifficulty sleeping. And that can meanmore than just falling asleep at work.Fatigue is dangerous.

We need sleep to survive. Those whosleep fewer than six hours a night don’tlive as long as those who sleep seven ormore. And studies show that moreaccidents occur because of fatiguethan alcohol. In fact, almost 40% ofheavy truck accidents are caused byfatigue.

So–what should you do to ensure thatyou regularly sleep well? Try these ideas:

Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule. Yes –even on weekends.

Establish a relaxing bedtime routine– like soaking in a warm bath,reading a book, or listening to soothing music.

Make sure your bedroom is conducive to sleep–dark, quiet, comfortable and cool.

Don’t read or work in bed. It’s also a good idea to keep work materials, such as desks and computers –out of the bedroom.

Don’t eat within two to three hours before you go to bed.

Exercise regularly–but at least two hours before bedtime.

Avoid alcohol, nicotine and caffeine close to bedtime. They can lead to poor sleep or disrupt sleep later in the night.
