The first step is to figure out what, exactly, is making your skin itch.<sup>&nbsp;[9]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are many factors that cause itching at night,\u201d says Crystal Dinopol, dermatologist and writer for&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/payitforwardfertility.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">payitforwardfertility.org<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s important to try to address these to help you sleep soundly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-a-moisturizing-lotion-during-the-day-and-before-bed\">Use a moisturizing lotion during the day and before bed&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This will prevent your skin from drying out and making the itching worse. You can also apply an<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>over-the-counter anti-itch cream to your skin.<sup>&nbsp;[5, 9]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apply-a-cool-wet-compress-to-your-skin\">Apply a cool, wet compress to your skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help counteract the body\u2019s higher nighttime temperature and moisturize the itchy area.&nbsp;<sup>[14]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-clean-bedding\">Use clean bedding&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/how-often-should-you-change-your-sheets\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bedding and linens should be washed<\/a>&nbsp;in hypoallergenic detergents, and the fillings in your mattress and pillow should also be hypoallergenic and sanitized every few months to get rid of mites and bed bugs,\u201d says Dinopol.

Barrios recommends listening to&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/music-playlist-to-help-you-sleep\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">soothing music before sleep<\/a>&nbsp;and practicing&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/yoga-poses-for-sleep\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yoga<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/meditation-for-better-sleep\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meditation<\/a>&nbsp;daily to calm your mind and relax.&nbsp;<sup>[2, 4]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-a-lukewarm-bath-before-bedtime\">Take a lukewarm bath before bedtime&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour skin has a buildup of dust, germs, and even dead skin cells throughout the day,\u201d says Barrios, \u201cso it\u2019s important to clean it before you sleep.\u201d Dust and germs are irritants that can lead to skin inflammation, so it\u2019s best to go to bed with clean and well-moisturized skin, she adds. \u201cIdeally, after you\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/baths-and-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take a bath<\/a>, moisturize your skin with a hydrating moisturizer, which will prevent it from drying and combat itching,\u201d says Barrios. <sup>[10, 11]\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barrios recommends adding finely ground oatmeal to your bath. \u201cGrind your oats into a fine powder to make them emollient,\u201d she says. Add them to a glass of water and test the texture. It should look milky and feel silky when you rub it between your fingers. Then mix it by hand in your lukewarm bathwater and soak for 10 to 15 minutes. \u201cThis will give you enough time to hydrate and soothe your skin,\u201d says Barrios.

You\u2019ll want to know if there\u2019s an underlying cause at play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlso, I recommend that you pay attention to symptoms such as fever, rash, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss,\u201d Barrios says. \u201cIf you\u2019re experiencing these things along with the itching, it\u2019s a sign that you should seek medical help at the earliest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-my-skin-itchy-at-night\">Why is my skin itchy at night?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because several factors could be making your skin itchy at night, it\u2019s important to figure out what\u2019s causing yours to itch. You may be at higher risk of developing itchy skin at night if you\u2019re age 65 or older, have allergies, bathe frequently, have a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis, are pregnant or menopausal, have diabetes or another disease, or sleep in an over-heated bedroom.<sup>&nbsp;[4, 5, 7, 17]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-stress-cause-itchy-skin-at-night\">Can stress cause itchy skin at night?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress and&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/sleeping-with-anxiety\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anxiety<\/a>&nbsp;can absolutely cause your skin to itch at night.
