Various allergies (allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, itchy rashes, asthma) may impair our ability to have a refreshing sleep. Sleep quality is impaired with snoring or sudden awakenings often resulting in fatigue.
As a consequence of this, the following may develop:
- Poor concentration during the day (which in children can lead to poor school performance and impaired achievements).
- A decrease in alertness (which increases the risk of traffic accidents).
- Mood impairment.
