Let's talk about the tiny creatures living in your bed.

Dust mites. Microscopic, invisible, and absolutely thriving in winter.
They feed on dead skin cells — which we shed constantly. They love warm, humid environments. And they set up camp in the exact places you spend the most time: mattresses, pillows, blankets, and upholstered furniture.

Winter is their prime season. Here's why:
Heavier blankets and extra bedding create more habitat. Reduced airflow lets populations grow unchecked. Heated indoor air keeps temperatures in their comfort zone.
It's basically a dust mite paradise — and you're sleeping in the middle of it.

The result? Waking up congested before your feet even hit the floor. Itchy eyes before you leave your pillow. A runny nose that won't quit no matter how much sleep you get.

Washing bedding weekly in hot water (130°F+), using allergen-proof mattress and pillow covers, and keeping humidity below 50% can help reduce exposure.

But if symptoms persist despite your best efforts, testing can confirm whether dust mites are your trigger — and open the door to more effective treatment.

February is National Heart Month, an opportunity to focus on the everyday habits that support cardiovascular health over time. Regular movement, stress management, quality sleep, and balanced nutrition all contribute to how efficiently the heart works to circulate oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Paying attention to signals like fatigue, shortness of breath, or changes in energy levels can help individuals better understand their overall health. Heart health is closely connected to whole-body wellness, making education and awareness an important part of prevention and long-term care.

Winter is supposed to give your allergies a break. 😤

While the rest of the country gets relief from pollen, San Antonio residents are still reaching for tissues, rubbing itchy eyes, and wondering why their "cold" has lasted six weeks.

Here's the truth most people don't realize: South Texas winters don't eliminate allergens — they just move them around. And in many cases, that actually makes things worse.

Our region sits right in the path of mountain cedar pollen drifting down from the Hill Country. Every winter from December through March, those tiny pollen grains blanket the San Antonio area and trigger what locals call "cedar fever" — and it can make you feel genuinely sick for weeks.

But it's not just what's outside. There's also what's happening inside your home.

Dust mites thriving in your bedding. Pet dander accumulating in sealed-up spaces. Mold growing in hidden corners where moisture collects. And when you seal up the house against cooler temperatures, all of it recirculates through your home with nowhere to go.

The frustrating part? Most people assume it's "just a cold" and keep waiting for symptoms to resolve on their own.
But allergic reactions don't work that way. They persist as long as the trigger is present.

If your symptoms linger for weeks, improve briefly then flare back up, or get noticeably worse every time cedar counts spike or when you walk inside — it's time to stop guessing and start getting answers.

Sleep isn't just about time in bed. It's about how well your body can breathe, recover, and reset.

When allergies go untreated, ongoing inflammation and congestion quietly interfere with that process—night after night. You might be logging eight hours, but your body never reaches the deep, restorative stages it needs.

The good news? Many patients regain energy, mental clarity, and better sleep once their allergy symptoms are properly identified and managed.
If fatigue, poor sleep, or nighttime breathing issues are affecting your quality of life, we'd love to help you find answers.

Because deeper sleep, brighter days, and lasting relief? They're all within reach.

What if your immune system could learn to stop overreacting?

That's the idea behind immunotherapy—commonly known as allergy shots.

Instead of just managing symptoms, immunotherapy helps retrain your immune system over time. The goal: less aggressive reactions to the allergens that have been disrupting your life and your sleep.

As inflammation decreases, many patients experience:
→ Easier nighttime breathing
→ Fewer sleep interruptions
→ Reduced congestion and postnasal drip
→ Long-term relief that lasts

It's not a quick fix. But for the right patients, it can be transformative.

Your allergy medication might be helping your symptoms—but hurting your sleep.

Some antihistamines cause drowsiness. Others can actually interfere with sleep quality or cause uncomfortable dryness. And timing matters more than most people realize.

Taking certain allergy medications at night can ensure the dose is strongest when you need it most—right when you're trying to sleep.

At Stone Oak Allergy, medication management isn't one-size-fits-all. We focus on:

→ Non-drowsy options when appropriate
→ Targeted nasal sprays for inflammation
→ Strategic timing adjustments
→ Long-term treatment alternatives

If your medications aren't working the way they should, it might be time for a conversation.

Black History Month is a time to honor the contributions, resilience, and leadership of Black individuals and communities—past and present. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the importance of representation, equity, and inclusion across education, research, and healthcare.

By recognizing diverse experiences and perspectives, we deepen our understanding of how history, culture, and community shape health and well-being. Continued learning and awareness help create more informed, compassionate spaces where everyone feels seen, respected, and supported.

This month—and every month—we celebrate the impact of Black voices and the importance of inclusion in building healthier, stronger communities.

January means more time indoors.

And more time indoors means more exposure to the allergens that disrupt your sleep.

The usual suspects hiding in your home:
→ Dust mites living in your bedding
→ Pet dander on furniture and clothing
→ Mold spores in damp areas
→ Pollen tracked in on hair and clothes

These triggers can worsen congestion, spark nighttime symptoms, and quietly sabotage your sleep quality—even when you think you're doing everything right.

Creating an allergy-friendly bedroom isn't complicated, but it can be life-changing.

Healthy sleep depends on one thing most people overlook: clear airflow.

When allergies inflame your nasal passages, breathing becomes a battle—especially when you're lying flat.

Your body compensates by:
→ Switching to mouth breathing
→ Snoring more than usual
→ Waking up with a dry, sore throat
→ Tossing and turning all night

Even subtle breathing disruptions can fragment your sleep cycle, preventing you from reaching those deep, restorative stages your body needs.

One solution that helps many patients? Elevating your head while sleeping. It's simple, but it can make a real difference.

One of the simplest things you can do for better sleep tonight?
Shower before bed.

Throughout the day, pollen, pet dander, and airborne allergens collect on your hair, skin, and clothes. When you climb into bed without rinsing off, all of that transfers to your pillows and sheets—right where you'll be breathing all night.

A quick evening shower washes away the day's allergen buildup and gives your nasal passages a break while you sleep.
It's not a cure. But it's a small habit that can make a noticeable difference—especially on high pollen days.
