With the weather finally starting to warm up, many hay fever sufferers are experiencing some grim symptoms.
Experts at Online-Bedrooms.co.uk previously told the ECHO how keeping the window open at night can make hay fever symptoms worse. Millions of people across the UK are set to be hit by grass pollen in the next few months.
While many are pleased to see the weather finally get warm again, it can be tricky getting to sleep at night without opening the window - which can worsen symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath and itchy eyes.

This can cause many allergen sufferers to wake up feeling grotty and tired due to a disturbed night’s sleep.
Instead, experts advise placing a thin bed sheet, which can be purchased for £3 from Asda, over the windows so no cracks of light are coming through. This can help stop the room from getting too hot overnight, without having to open the windows.
They also suggest using an energy-efficient fan, silk bedding - which has anti-allergen properties - and a damp towel which can quickly cool you down if placed on your forehead for around 10 minutes.
