Seasonal allergies can play a big part in our ability to get a good night’s sleep. Nasal congestion is one of the most common problems, which makes breathing through your nose difficult. This in turn can lead to snoring or worsen your obstructive sleep apnea. Here are some tips to help alleviate seasonal allergy symptoms:
- Stay indoors during peak allergy season
- Use an air purifier in the house
- Wear a mask when you are outdoors
- Use over-the-counter antihistamines, decongestants or nasal sprays
