However, several factors can make asthma more severe at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you breathe in, the lungs transport oxygen into the bloodstream. From there it is carried to the rest of the body. When you breathe out, the lungs send the waste, or carbon dioxide, out of the bloodstream. How well this process works varies \u2013 it is part of the body\u2019s natural circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is your internal clock. It regulates the body over a 24-hour period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lungs work best during the day, with peak lung function at about four in the afternoon. Studies show lung function drops by 4 a.m., especially in people with asthma. The fluctuation is usually less than 10 percent in most people. But people with asthma can have up to a 50 percent variation from day to night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The body\u2019s inner clock, or circadian rhythm, affects hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, and melatonin. The hormones change throughout the day and can trigger nighttime asthma symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adrenaline is naturally lower during the night. It helps to relax and keep the airways open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cortisol also goes down at night, and this can affect airway narrowing and worsen asthma symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacionline.org\/article\/s0091-6749(05)02114-7\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Melatonin is higher at night <\/strong><\/a>and is associated with a decrease in lung function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The circadian rhythm can also affect levels of airway inflammation. This leads to nighttime asthma symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, mucus from post-nasal drip, allergens, and cold air can trigger nighttime asthma attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column19374474_2627ac-fd\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f{max-width:800px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal:not(.kb-section-md-dir-vertical)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f{position:relative;}@media all and (min-width: 1025px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-sm-dir-vertical:not(.kb-section-sm-dir-horizontal):not(.kb-section-sm-dir-specificity)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f{max-width:800px;-webkit-flex:1;flex:1;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column19374474_b3f4d2-2f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image19374474_c8cbef-49 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image19374474_c8cbef-49 size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/woman-with-nighttime-asthma-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"In the blue-lit room, a woman sits on her bed, resting her head with a tired expression.

They can be taken at the first sign of asthma symptoms for quick relief, even at night. There is also a quick-relief inhaler available that can relieve symptoms and also reduce airway inflammation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Controller medications (anti-inflammatory).<\/strong> These reduce and prevent lung inflammation. They include inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), long-acting inhaled beta2-agonists (LABA) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA). Controller medications are taken every day, not just when you have symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leukotriene modifiers. <\/strong>Theseblock the action of leukotrienes, chemicals involved in immune responses that lead to inflammation and tightening of the airways.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combination inhalers.<\/strong> These include more than one asthma medication in one device. For example, a combination inhaler may include ICS and LABA. Another combination is ICS and LAMA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/biologicmeds.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Biologics<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>treat moderate to severe asthma.

Biologics can stop asthma symptoms before they can start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To manage nighttime asthma, avoid triggers and treat other illnesses. Also, avoid using nasal sprays and inhalers with stimulants before bed.
