Eczema, Acne, Doonas

Does the type of blanket you sleep with affect your health? It does, indeed. Do you wake up in the middle of the night from overheating? Doona quilts can cause overheating at night. Overheating has been linked to many skin conditions such as acne, eczema and dermatitis. Overheating when sleeping makes skin sweat and microbes thrive on moist skin, causing itchiness. Overheating also dehydrates the skin and opens skin pores, allowing dirt and bacteria to enter. Your skin needs oxygen (the most important nutrient) and doonas can prevent skin breathability. The thickness of your blanket does indeed affect your sleep and your health. Happy sleeping,
