Allergic rhinitis (hay fever ) leads to snoring and sleeping problems

In a study conducted by French researchers from Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris it was found that people with hay fever have more difficulty sleeping and more sleep disorders than those without allergies. Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is affecting about 20 to 50 percent of the population.

Previous research has indicated that allergies could lead to snoring and breathing problems during sleep, including sleep apnea (a disorder that causes breathing to be shallow or stop while sleeping). Hence allergic rhinitis being not only a nuisance by itself, it also result in a lower quality of life due to sleepiness, daytime fatigue, impaired memory, mood and sexuality, with a significantly increased consumption of alcohol and sedatives.
