Indoor allergen exposure in relation to sleep health among US adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Common indoor allergens can accumulate within the sleep microenvironment (eg, bedding) and may contribute to poor sleep health.

Objective

We sought to examine bedroom allergen exposure in relation to multiple sleep dimensions among US adults.

Methods

Data for this study (N = 3399) were collected during the 2005 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Concentrations of 8 bedroom allergens were assessed and classified as elevated when levels exceeded 75th/90th percentile thresholds. Self-reported sleep measures included having trouble sleeping, any sleep disorder, snoring, and sleep medication use. Adjusting for confounders, we used Poisson regression to estimate associations between bedroom allergen exposures and sleep dimensions overall an
