iPhone network settings take 2. Will it fix the proximity sensor bug?

Getting a Good Nights Sleep
One of the most common locations allergies can be found, is the bedroom. Most adults spend a minimum of 5-8 hours in their bedroom on a daily basis and it can be one of the one of worst places in the entire house for allergens to hide. Living inside of our pillows, mattresses, box springs, comforters and blankets are dust mites, dust mite feces and dried, dead, dust mite body parts. Pollen, molds, pet dander and dust also thrive in our beds. In fact, after 3 years, a majority of your mattress weight is dust and dust mites, which is why the mattress seems heavier over the years. These allergens cause allergic symptoms such as stuffiness, sneezing, running nose and itchy eyes.



The air that you are breathing in your sleep can be filled with dust and dust mites. Point air registers away from your bed and use allergen reducing air filters. Allergies have been linked to insomnia and snoring as well, so keeping your ventilation system clean of dust, dander, and mold will help you to sleep the night through. See Clean Air Management (link to clean air) for ways to reduce the level of allergens in the air.


There are many simple ways to reduce the level of allergens in the bedroom.

Mattress/BoxSpring Encasings and Covers, Pillow Covers and Encasings
These casings and enclosures are able to fully zip and protect your mattress from dust and dust mites. They range in pricing depending on size of the mattress, box spring, material. However, make sure that they are labeled allergy-free and you can prevent dust and dust mites from invading your bedding. These casings are machine washable and should be washed in hot water (140 degrees Fahrenheit) at least twice a month.

Hypo-Allergenic Pillows, Hypo Allergenic Blankets and Comforters, Allergen Reducer Duvet Covers
Comforters are home to many allergens, including dust mites and goose down. You can still use your favorite comforter and cover it with allergen-proof lining. These casings are machine washable and should be washed in hot water at least twice a month.

Where can I buy Allergy Reducing Bedding?
Retailers like Linens and Things, Target, Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, and other fine home good stores should carry types of allergy reducing bedding.

Here are a few online retailers as well:
