How do we sleep with air purifiers? It’s a big question for some people who are looking at new air purifier designs. They want to know if they will sleep better with these machines running at night.
A bedroom is one of the best places to keep an air purifier working. This is where many of us spend a lot of our time. Sure, we’re asleep, but we’re still breathing and utilizing the space inside of the closed room.
If you think about the time that you spend in the bedroom, compared to the time that you spend in the bathroom or the kitchen, you see why the bedroom is so important.
Here are three considerations about sleeping with an air purifier that can help inform your decision.
The Value of White Noise
Practically speaking, you can ask a lot of people who use air purifiers at night, and they’ll tell you that they sleep better.
This is often specifically because of the white noise that the machines generate.
Some manufacturing materials will explain how the white noise tunes out disruptive noise like:
· Loud neighbors
· Dripping faucets
· Normal house sounds
Having a lower and consistent level of sound can be extremely conducive to better sleep. And better sleep is important, too. Resources from the Yale School of Medicine suggest that better sleep helps with memory consolidation, emotional regulation, immune system support, heart health and weight management. Those are five solid reasons to try to catch better “Zs”.
Filtering Out Bad Air Contaminants
This next point goes to a particular psychology around keeping your air cleaner and more breathable.
Knowing that your air is cleaner can be effective in helping you sleep better. Over time, it can mean a better respiratory result. There’s no direct link between air contaminants and the use of CPAP machines for sleep apnea, but people generally feel that clean air helps.
And obviously, it helps during the day, too!
Get The Right Noise Level
While some report that they sleep great with an air purifier, others note that the appliance can keep them up. That’s often because it’s too loud.
Getting the right sound setting is important when you’re shopping for air purifiers.
You can look for models with whisper-quiet operation, or versatile models that will change settings based on the user’s preference.
How you use the settings is up to you – different people have different preferences. But having the range of settings available is a big plus. The key is that you want a customizable model, if this is a concern to you. You want to be able to change the settings during the day and night.
Changeable Settings
It’s sort of similar to how you would use a thermostat. Think about this:
Some people want it warmer in the bedroom at night, to sleep better. Others don’t need to change the thermostat dynamically at a certain time of day or night.
In addition to white noise settings, air purifiers have a lot of other customizations.
You can buy according to the specific contaminants that you’re worried about. You might want to be filtering natural things like:
· Mold
· Dust mites
· Pet dander
On the other hand, you might be concerned about volatile organic chemicals or things like PM2.5 that come from industrial pollution or woodsmoke.
So that goes into your consideration when you’re shopping for a modern air purifier. Take a look at the IDEAL AP80, or a Molekule Pro model with PECO and HEPA filtration, two great technologies to have in your living space.
Think about this, too: you can get a medical grade HEPA filter that is 99.97% effective for particles down to .3 microns. You can also get super HEPA models that will strain indoor air even further, rated for 99.99% of particles down to .1 microns.
