Allergies and Insomnia

How do seasonal allergies impact your sleep? Are you able to get rest despite the itching and stuffiness?

  1. I am currently suffering right now and ended up with a sinus infection because of them. Thankfully the allergy medication puts me to sleep.

    1. Sorry to hear you’re struggling with allergies. They can be so exhausting! Great to hear the meds help you sleep 😊


      Cheers.

  2. With a stuffy nose, a CPAP and itchy eyes, sleep is a tough task. Even with air conditioners, air purifiers and other mitigations, I don't sleep well when the seasons change. Vanessa, Narcolepsy.Sleep-Disorders.net, Moderator

    1. I live in East Tennessee so my allergies this time of year are crazy. I don't get itchy, but I get the stuffy nose and all of the other fun symptoms. I find sleeping with a humidifier somewhat helps.

      1. ... Fellow Tennessean here! I am in West Tennessee and have the same fun stuff going with my nose. I haven't tried a humidifier--thanks for the tip!
