As the year winds down, stress peaks and sleep suffers but these two problems are deeply connected. The combination of work deadlines, holiday obligations, and self-reflection can create a vicious cycle where stress disrupts your sleep, which then makes you more vulnerable to stress. Understanding this relationship is the first step to protecting your rest and your wellbeing during one of the year’s most demanding seasons.
Feeling more drained than delighted this December? You’re not imagining it. Christmas burnout is real, and the combination of work deadlines, social overload, emotional pressure, and disrupted sleep creates the perfect storm for exhaustion. If you’re running on empty, it’s time to understand what your body is really telling you.
Travelling with a CPAP this Christmas is easier than most people think whether you’re flying, driving, or heading off-grid. With airlines allowing CPAP machines as extra carry-on and portable batteries making camping or remote stays hassle-free, you can keep your therapy on track wherever you go. A little planning around power, packing, and airline notification ensures smooth, stress-free holiday travel. Enjoy your break knowing your sleep and health stay protected.
Don’t let sweltering nights melt your sleep routine. Summer heat can make CPAP therapy uncomfortable, leading to a drop in compliance just when you need rest the most. Discover simple hacks like moisture-wicking liners, humidity adjustments, and lighter mask options to keep your therapy cool and effective all season long.
Summer is finally here, but keeping your CPAP on winter settings could be sabotaging your sleep with unnecessary moisture buildup. Since warmer air is naturally more humid, finding the right balance is key to preventing both dry mouth and the dreaded “rainout” in your mask. Discover how simple adjustments to your humidification levels can help you reclaim comfortable, high-quality rest this season.
When heatwaves strike, falling asleep is tough. But staying asleep is even harder. Hot, humid nights can ramp up sleep apnoea symptoms, fragment deep sleep, and leave you exhausted the next day. Simple cooling hacks can help you reclaim your rest, even when the temperature refuses to drop.
Holidays should recharge you, but busy schedules, festive drinks, and disrupted routines can leave you more tired than rested, revealing hidden sleep debt and holiday fatigue.
Struggling to sleep on hot nights? You’re not imagining it. Hot nights can make it much harder to breathe while you sleep. New research shows that rising temperatures can significantly worsen sleep apnoea symptoms and disrupt sleep quality. As temperatures climb, it’s more important than ever to keep an eye on your sleep.
Your bedroom setup does more than just look nice. It shapes how easily your mind and body can slip into rest. A cluttered room, harsh lighting or jarring colours are linked with more stress and lighter, disrupted sleep, while a calm layout, softer hues and a tidy space are associated with feeling safer, more relaxed and more ready to drift into deeper, more restorative sleep.
