The 4 things I would never do as an Allergist: 1) Never sleep on a hotel pillowcase: They typically use commercial grade detergents that can be very harsh on the skin. Pack your own (ideally silk which can help reduce wrinkles)! *good holiday gift idea* 2) Avoid Melatonin. It can cause drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and headaches 3) Never pull an all-nighter: Quality sleep is incredibly important and sleep debt can lead to irritability, poor productivity, depression, and increased infection risk 4) Don’t miss a night time shower! Showering at night rids you of the days allergens, viruses, and bacteria. If you don’t shower at night you are bringing all of that into your bed and sleeping on it all night, increasing allergy symptoms and infection risk. #allergist #allergyfree #holidaytravel #giftideas
