10 Causes of Insomnia
Cause #6: Allergy
Allergies can cause insomnia in a susceptible person. This can happen during the notorious allergy seasons when there are many allergens in the atmosphere. It can also happen because you are allergic to something within your house, and especially within your bedroom. This can mean that your airways are irritated, making it difficult to breathe. With such difficulties, it may take you longer to fall asleep.
The breathing difficulty may also cause you to wake up from your sleep similar to what happens in a person with sleep apnea. Seek a doctor’s advice on ways to deal with insomnia resulting from allergies. Also note that some allergy medications may cause sleep disturbances. For this reason, ask your doctor if any allergy medications prescribed to you may cause insomnia.
