One of the biggest discomforts with eczema is when itching strikes at bedtime. Sleep disruption due to itching may snowball into a morning of physical and mental distress. In order to get a good night’s sleep, here are some practical tips.
1. HYDRATE
Take a nice cool bath an hour before bed. It not only cleans your body but also washes away the heat from your skin. It brings back vital moisture which your skin needs. Make sure to apply emollient after bathing to lock in skin’s moisture.
2. VENTILATE
Your sleeping environment should be planned, too. Heat leads to skin irritation. So keep to a cool bedroom temperature. Make sure air circulates properly. Avoid thick beddings and sheets and dress only in the most comfortable cotton night clothes.
3. MOISTURIZE
Stick to a daily moisturizing routine. Apply your emollient 30 minutes before sleeping to help reduce night time itching.
