2015, Allergologia et ImmunopathologiaCitation Excerpt :It should also be considered that some anti-allergic drugs, such as sedating antihistamines, can alter sleep due to their effect on the central nervous system.7 Nasal decongestants containing pseudoephedrine are, on the contrary, associated with insomnia.8 Several tools are available to subjectively assess the degree of impairment of sleep in these patients.9
Sleep impairment and daytime sleepiness in patients with allergic rhinitis: The role of congestion and inflammation
2013, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Although the anticholinergic agent ipratropium bromide is not considered effective in relieving nasal congestion, there are limited data suggesting that its use in AR treatment may improve sleep and daily living.64 Leukotriene receptor antagonists65 or a combination of an antihistamine and a leukotriene receptor antagonist66 have shown some efficacy in improving sleep and quality of life in patients with AR and sleep-disordered breathing. The mechanisms responsible for improved sleep and decreased daytime somnolence may include congestion reduction, a decline in inflammatory mediators, or a combination of these.

2011, Sleep Medicine ReviewsCitation Excerpt :The anticholinergic agent ipratropium bromide is not considered effective in relieving nasal congestion24; however, limited data suggest that sleep and quality of life may be improved following treatment.85 Leukotriene receptor antagonists86,87 or a combination of an antihistamine and a leukotriene receptor antagonist88 have shown some efficacy in improving sleep and quality of life in patients with allergic rhinitis or sleep-disordered breathing. The cause of the improved sleep and daytime somnolence may be a reduction of congestion or a reduction of inflammatory mediators or a combination of both.
