From my own experience, I think this can be part of it.
My wife and I lived in an apartment several years ago. While there my wife had sleep issues and seemed to get sick more often. Close to the end of our lease, after a little rain, we found mold on the carpet and on some of our stuff in our bedroom closet.
We reported the mold to the landlords. They quickly denied it was mold, calling it “mildew” then had contractors tear open the wall and redo the insulation, carpet and walls. They offered to pay us money if we didn’t write a review regarding the incident.
We moved out as soon as we could. Now that we are lucky enough to live in our own home, we both feel a lot better in terms of sleep and health.
I can’t prove the mold was the cause of bad sleep or prove how long the mold was even there. But I don’t think I can go back to renting where I don’t have control or insight into how things are maintained.
