The discussion revealed several interesting points about what can make allergy symptoms worse in the evening. Basically, there’s more pollen around in the evening! But why is that?  Although not obvious, the reason makes sense.  Pollen rises high above the ground throughout the day.  As temperatures increase, warm air rises and brings pollen with it into the upper atmosphere.  A large volume of the pollen blown off of trees and grasses can end up high in the air away from the ground.  But as evening approaches and temperatures drop, the air carrying the pollen cools and comes back towards the ground bringing the pollen with it. This effect, combined with lots of plants releasing their pollen later in the day and early evening, contribute to sufferers feeling like their symptoms are getting worse at night. When Asthma UK polled over 2000 allergy/hay fever suffers, they found that two-thirds of them continued to experience symptoms while they sleep.  And of these sufferers, they were losing over an hour of sleep per night!

Asthma UK had several helpful tips to reduce exposure: Avoid going outside when pollen counts are elevated. Wear sunglasses when you go outside. However, one solution we see that brings the most relief to night time allergy suffers is using an air purifier in the bedroom. We’ve seen thousands of people get a better, more relaxed night’s sleep by running an air purifier in their room. You don’t have to worry about whether pollen counts are high, or the wind is blowing.  With an air purifier in the bedroom, all of the airborne allergen particles can be removed in as little as 20-30 minutes. Just keep the unit running all night long to surround yourself with pure, allergen free air and ensure you get the best possible nights sleep.

Much like other Alen air purifier reviews, I aim to reduce some of those concerns by introducing readers to a comparatively well-rated air purifier available on today’s market.

This air purifier is known as Alen’s BreatheSmart Air Purifier. This air purifier is suitable for consumers who want to purify large rooms in their home, spanning ‘up to 1,100 square feet.’ In accordance with its consumer-friendly nature, Alen describes this air purifier as ‘quiet with a powerful performance, featuring a simple design with intrinsic smart sensor technology.’ ecoquest focus fresh air purifierThe following is a list of choice features included with this purifier, which should give readers a better understanding about this air purifier’s capabilities:holmes air purifier aer One reason why Alan air purifier is still highly popular among buyers (despite its hefty price tag) is its ease of use and user-friendliness. blueair sense air purifier in graphite black

This is thanks to its intuitive push-button controls. These controls allow consumers to easily control and program the purifier without problems. (I’m not sure if you’d be interested in the manual. In case you are, click here for Alen BreatheSmart manual) The ‘air quality sensor’ helps consumers know when the air within the room is ‘good quality’. This is a necessary if you only have a single air purifier that’s used in multiple rooms. You can use the sensor reading as a gauge on the air quality of each room and this will tell you which room needs it more than the others. The HEPA-Pure filter uses several layers of its ‘filter technology,’ which effectively purifies and freshens air throughout the home. The process works by allowing ‘polluted air’ to pass through the washable Alen pre-filter, capturing large particles in the process. This extends the life of the main filter. The second layer draws in moving air through the electrostatically charged HEPA material, attracting and capturing up to ’99 percent of dust, pollen and a host of other airborne pollutants.’

The filter even have optional upgrades, enabling the device to capture other pollutants like harmful bacteria, chemicals, smoke and heavy odors. The ozone ionizer actually complements the process by charging the particles in the air, which sticks them together for better capture. Consumers should clean the pre-filter every 2 to 3 months, as recommended in the manual. They should also replace the HEPA filter at least 6 to 8 months under normal use. The filter even includes a Filter Life Timer indicator to inform consumers when to replace the filter. The pros of this air purifier are numerous, enough that I can’t include them all here. Listed here are some of the most important, expressed by consumers. Although there’s significant benefits awarded to consumers when using this device, there’s also cons. Listed here are some of the more notable concerns, as expressed by consumers.
