The sound of a well-maintained heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is like a lullaby for a good night’s sleep.
If odd sounds, such as banging, squealing, or rattling, from your HVAC system are keeping you up at night, it is time to schedule maintenance and regain a peaceful nighttime environment in your Texas home.
Let our qualified technicians at MLD Services, LLC inspect, clean, and, if necessary, repair your heating and cooling system. Your HVAC equipment will operate at peak efficiency and with minimal sound after a tune-up. You will notice the enhanced comfort and improved bedtime atmosphere in your Leander home.
Although the U.S Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends adults sleep seven or more hours per night, one in three adults say they log fewer hours.
Insufficient sleep is related to the development of heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions. It can affect mental agility and energy level and lead to accidents resulting in injury and possibly death.
Some adults seek professional medical help for sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea, that prevent them from getting quality sleep. Lifestyle and environmental conditions also may cause restless and interrupted sleep.
Sleep experts recommend that you stop using electronics, such as cell phones, television, and computers, at least a half-hour before bedtime. Skip the alcoholic or caffeinated beverages when you are preparing for sleep and maintain a consistent bedtime schedule. Set your alarm clock for the same time each morning.
Sleep Helps Maintain Health
You will sleep better if you feel comfortable. Keep your bedroom dark and slightly cool at night. Try keeping the temperature from 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Because a lower body temperature makes you sleepy, dropping the temperature at bedtime can help to promote sleep.
What Causes Sleepless Nights?
Consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat to maintain precise temperature control in your Leander home. After you program your comfort preferences, the device will change the temperature for you at night and then increase it in the morning.
Too Hot or Cold
The amount of moisture in your living space also affects the quality of your sleep. MLD Services, LLC can assess your indoor air quality (IAQ) and recommend a solution to control humidity.
Controlling Humidity
If you have too much moisture in the air, your bedroom may feel stuffy, making it hard to breathe and fall asleep. A high humidity level in your home can encourage the growth of mold and dust mites, which in turn triggers allergies, respiratory issues, and asthma symptoms. Itchy eyes, sinus problems, and allergies can interfere with quality sleep.
Improve Air Quality
Humidity is at an ideal level between 35 to 50 percent. If it consistently drops below the minimum percent, it will result in dry air that can cause dry skin, chapped lips, and irritated nasal passages.
Make Quality Sleep a Priority
MLD Services, LLC can recommend a whole-house dehumidifier to reduce the amount of water vapor in your home’s atmosphere. Or we can suggest a whole-house humidifier to add moisture if the humidity is too low.
