Don’t let seasonal allergies prevent you from sleeping

Now that pollen season is fully underway in most parts of the country, it's important for those who suffer from allergies to do whatever they can to ensure their health and comfort. And, while symptoms are apt to be worse during the day, when people are out and about and more likely to encounter seasonal allergens, a new study suggests that this affliction is affecting the sleeping patterns of many individuals. 

On April 23, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) revealed that 59 percent of people who suffer from nasal allergies said that they have had a difficult time sleeping as a result of their symptoms. Perhaps the most alarming bit of data uncovered by the research is that only 35 percent of individuals are making a proactive effort to treat their allergies. 

"This survey further reinforces that although many people are significantly impacted by their nasal allergies, they are doing very little to avoid the onset of their burdensome symptoms," Bill McLin, President and CEO of AAFA, said in a press release. 

Dr. Mark Holbreich, an allergy specialist, told The Huffington Post that there are a number of actions people can take to prevent and treat their nighttime symptoms, including showering before going to sleep, keeping windows closed and using medication prescribed by a doctor. 

Another great way to ensure that your bedroom is clear of common allergens like pet dander, dust and pollen is to purchase allergy bedding, such as the Pristine Complete Allergen Proof Bedding Set. These special linens are made of tightly woven yarns that allow air and moisture to pass through, but are too small for allergens. For just $249.95, you get a comforter, pillows, pillow encasings and a mattress sheet.
