When winter arrives in Delhi, we often prepare ourselves for the cold — adding extra blankets, changing our wardrobe, and adjusting our routines. Yet, one essential aspect of winter health often gets overlooked: sleep. As the temperature drops and days become shorter, the quality of our rest can suffer. Many people experience disturbed sleep, frequent awakenings, snoring, congestion, or morning fatigue without understanding why. At JCS Lung & Sleep Centre, Delhi, we focus on improving your winter sleep health so that every night is comfortable, and every morning begins with energy and clarity.
Why Winter Sleep Changes Happen
Winter may seem like the perfect season for long, cozy sleep, but in reality, multiple factors make sleep more difficult:
-
Reduced sunlight exposure affects melatonin and circadian rhythm.
-
Colder night temperature may trigger respiratory issues.
-
Indoor heating dries the air, irritating the throat and nasal passages.
-
Winter allergies from dust mites, wool bedding and heating systems can interrupt breathing.
What appears to be just “seasonal tiredness” may actually be a sign of an underlying sleep disorder. This is where the Winter Sleep Health Check at JCS Lung & Sleep Centre becomes essential.
Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
Many winter sleep issues are subtle at first. Over weeks, however, they begin to affect daily life. Common symptoms include:
-
Constant snoring or noisy breathing at night
-
Waking up tired, despite a full night’s sleep
-
Daytime sleepiness or difficulty concentrating
-
Morning headaches or dry throat
-
Pauses in breathing noticeable by a partner
-
Restless sleep, tossing and turning
-
Mood changes, irritability or lack of motivation
These are not just winter habits — they are potential indicators of sleep disorders that can worsen in the cold season.
Why Winter Makes Sleep Disorders Worse
Certain sleep problems are aggravated by seasonal changes:
❄️ Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Cold air and congestion make the airway narrower, increasing snoring and apnea episodes.
❄️ Insomnia
Shorter daylight hours affect the sleep-wake cycle, making it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep.
❄️ Restless Leg Syndrome
Low iron levels, often worse in winter due to dietary shifts, may trigger symptoms.
❄️ Allergic Rhinitis
Indoor allergens in rugs, curtains, heaters and bedding peak during winter when windows stay closed.
For people with asthma, COPD or respiratory weakness, winter can be especially challenging. A dedicated winter sleep evaluation helps identify the exact cause and sets the right treatment.
The Winter Sleep Health Check at JCS Lung & Sleep Centre
We offer a detailed, scientific and personalised approach to diagnosing winter sleep disturbances. The Winter Sleep Health Check includes:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
A specialist team reviews your:
-
Breathing patterns
-
Sleep history
-
Medical background
-
Lifestyle habits
-
Environmental triggers such as bedding, heating, or room humidity
This helps build a clear picture of your winter sleep issues.
2. Advanced Diagnostic Testing
Depending on symptoms, the following may be recommended:
✔️ Overnight Sleep Study (Polysomnography)
Monitors brain waves, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate and movements.
✔️ Home Sleep Study
Comfortable testing in your own bedroom for snoring or apnea assessment.
✔️ Respiratory Function Tests
Important for patients with asthma, COPD or winter airway sensitivity.
✔️ Allergy Screening
Identifies dust, pollen or indoor allergens affecting sleep quality.
Each test is interpreted by experienced pulmonologists and sleep specialists to give accurate diagnosis.
3. Personalised Treatment Plan
After diagnosis, you receive a tailored winter sleep plan that may include:
-
Nasal breathing aids or humidity correction
-
CPAP therapy for sleep apnea
-
Medication for allergies or congestion
-
Lifestyle guidance for sleep hygiene
-
Breathing exercises and positional changes
Our focus is not just temporary relief — we aim to build long-term, restorative sleep habits.
