It's peak allergy season in several states on the East Coast, including New York, and you, or your loved ones, may be sneezing, coughing and feeling more miserable than usual this year. More severe symptoms of seasonal allergies this spring are likely due to a warmer winter and an earlier start of allergy season, says Dr. Purvi Parikh, an allergist and immunologist with the Allergy & Asthma Network. And the cause of this longer, more intense allergy season? "There's higher amounts of pollen due to rising greenhouse gasses and more CO2 in the air, which plants thrive off of," Parikh tells CNBC Make It. Here are some effective ways to alleviate your allergy symptoms and still enjoy the spring.

Two supplements stand out as popular means for Americans to use with the goal of good quality sleep: magnesium and melatonin. Between the two, a melatonin supplement is more likely to help you sleep at night than magnesium, according to Shelby Harris, a licensed clinical psychologist and director of sleep health at Sleepopolis. "Magnesium supplements might be helpful for prompting sleep, but the reality is that this hasn't been routinely proven in research to know for certain," Harris tells CNBC Make It. "Melatonin is the most common natural sleep aid that can help gradually shift the body's circadian rhythm when taken properly." DON'T MISS: Don’t waste money on magnesium supplements, says sleep expert: Eat these foods for a natural dose and better restBut experts, including Harris, agree that you're far better off getting melatonin and magnesium from foods than supplements.

While the type of mattress you prefer can vary from person to person, it's important for you to "invest in a good mattress that fits your sleep preferences," Harris tells CNBC Make It. And even when you've found the mattress of your dreams, you still need to change it every now and then to ensure that you're getting the best quality sleep. Here's when it may be time to toss "old faithful" and how much you should budget for a good-quality mattress. When you should change your mattress mainly depends on the type of material the mattress is made of, says Harris. [We] gain weight, lose weight [or] have to sleep in a new position due to various reasons [like] pain, surgery, etc."

Magnesium is often touted as a sleep aid, and the search term "magnesium sleep" has over 840 million views on TikTok. But is taking magnesium supplements safe? The highest dose of magnesium supplements recommended for adults is no more than 350 milligrams a day, says Harris. "Sometimes people are taking too much magnesium," Harris says, but even small amounts of magnesium from supplements can have adverse effects on certain people. Potential health concerns associated with taking magnesium supplements are:DiarrheaHeartbeat irregularities or other heart issuesKidney issuesNegative interactions with other medications"Just getting it from your diet might be better," says Harris.

And they can be caused by a range of factors, including biological, psychological and social ones, experts say. What’s behind women’s sleep issues? Then, of course, there’s the sleep disruption that comes with caring for a newborn, Dr. Harris said — which can continue long after the baby is sleeping through the night. Up to 80 percent of women start getting hot flashes in perimenopause (the four or so years leading up to menopause) and may continue to get them for as many as seven years afterward, Dr. Baker said. For about 20 percent of women, though, these hot flashes are frequent and intense enough to disrupt sleep, she said.

The most common symptoms of seasonal allergies include itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing and congestion, all of which can be easily resolved with remedies like neti pots and over-the-counter allergy medication. But many people might not even realize the effects that seasonal allergies can have on sleep. Congestion can lead to snoring which typically worsens sleep apnea for those who suffer from the disorder, she adds. Seasonal allergies can also cause other discomforts that keep you up all night, like headaches. To start, you can optimize your bedroom to avoid triggering your allergy symptoms, which will ultimately help improve your sleep.
But it's important to know that there is a right and wrong way to nap, especially if you're trying to avoid messing up your sleep schedule. And that's simply too long, says Shelby Harris, licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine. "If you take an hour-long nap, sometimes you end up waking up feeling more groggy from it because you're getting into deeper stages of sleep," Harris tells CNBC Make It. If you're aiming to feel more energized after napping, the sweet spot is from 20 minutes to a half hour, Harris says. Also, consider the time of day which is extremely important to avoid impacting your sleep in the evening, she adds.
If your struggle to get a good night's sleep is specific to being in bed next to your partner, it might be time for a sleep divorce. A sleep divorce is simply sleeping apart, in separate beds or bedrooms so that both partners can get the best sleep, says Shelby Harris, a licensed clinical psychologist and director of sleep health at Sleepopolis. Despite how extreme it might sound, a sleep divorce may actually save your relationship if your inability to sleep at night has brought you to a breaking point. Here's when most people should consider a sleep divorce and how to do it successfully. Tips for a successful sleep divorce
Daylight saving time is when time jumps forward by an hour. And though we "lose" an hour of sleep temporarily, we gain an hour of sunlight until the fall. ET, time went back and we "gained" an hour of sleep, but lost an hour of sunlight. While permanent daylight saving time might sound like the perfect solution, the bill was stalled recently by the House of Representatives — it was unanimously passed by the Senate in March. And the opinions of sleep experts like Shelby Harris, a licensed clinical psychologist and director of sleep health at Sleepopolis, just might have had something to do with the delay.
