Nocturnal Asthma Triggers

Nocturnal asthma triggers are factors that worsen asthma symptoms at night, making it hard to breathe while sleeping. Common triggers include allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and mold in bedding or carpets. Cold air, respiratory infections, and acid reflux can also play a role. Hormonal changes during the night and a body's natural rhythms may heighten sensitivity to these triggers. Managing your environment, keeping the air clean, and following a treatment plan can help reduce nighttime asthma symptoms and improve sleep quality.
