Abstract

Allergic disease can have profound influence on sleep through several anatomical and physiological mechanisms. When medical therapies fail to adequately alleviate symptoms, surgery can play a role in improving sleep quality. Here we describe the treatment modalities available to address the allergic patient that presents with complaints of sleep disturbance and discuss relevant literature for these interventions.
