It is not like I haven't tried anything. Through years when I was getting more and more sensitive I tried almost everything out there.

I've soon realised that I usually feel the worst in the morning and throughout the day it gets better. We already have an internal joke with my colleague Josh as I arrive to the office every morning looking like a ZOMBIE and then when I leave I look like a new and healthy person.

So there was only one thing to do - to bring out my DETECTIVE SKILLS. I really wanted to figure out why I feel so awful every morning. And even a person with zero detective skills (like me) could figure out that smth must happen to my body during the night. 

I started researching all the possible reasons and reading about them online.

Most of the things I knew already - I was washing my bedding every week on high temperature, curtains also, vacuuming the bedroom at least twice a week... I even got rid of my bookcase in the bedroom as it was a potential nest for allergens.

I could find nothing really new.

Around 4 months later when I already partly gave-up on my research mission, my acquaintance Susannah who I haven't seen in months sent me a video. 

We met this summer at a barbecue party our common friend organized. I was yawning a lot and (like usually) that was a starter for "being-tired" conversation. Honestly, we kind of bonded with Susannah over both having allergies and difficulties with sleeping. She understood my frustration about it. We started joking about it and intentionally yawning in front of others to see their reactions.

So, going back to my story. I watched the video she sent me - and it made me sick to my stomach!!

Really, just look at it:
