Why is that when I get run-down from a lack of sleep and stress that my allergies are worse? I sneeze A LOT.? |
And have generally more pronounced nasal allergy symptons, including the sore throat from all the volatile sneezing. I could very well be on the cusp of a terrible cold that is going around the class (I am a teacher), but would wager a sound bet that after a night of sleep, this will have passed. Is this a coincedence, or can a lack of sleep for a few days truly cause such symptons--including stomach distress? Allergies are really draining on your immune system. My lymph nodes on my neck get swollen and sometimes I even get a fever when my allergies are really bad. So if your immune system is already taxed from lack of sleep the symptoms of the allergies will be particularly hard on your body. Nazonex is a really good nasal spray that your doctor can prescribe. I started taking it last year and have never found anything like it in nearly 20 years of allergies. Exhausting is an aide to illness because the body produces white blood cells mainly through sleep process. Without sleep the body overworks and stresses out and clots form more etc... Lack of sleep can have a termendous effect on your physical health. Take it from me... I am a single parent of 4 boys, work 50 hours per week and go to school! I recently had to spend 3 days in the hospitial due to physical exhaustion. Trust me, if you felt like i did you will reliaze that no laundry, tests, or errends is worth your body shutting down. REST! Your body will thank you for it in the long run. Your immune system wears down when you have less sleep making it more likely for you to get sick. It will also cause any illness you already have to be worse. Your body can't fight off sickness when you to this point In addition to your immune system wearing down do to lack of sleep, have you ever considered the fact that where you sleep may also be having a negative affect on your health? Dust mites and their waste are the single largest allergic trigger worldwide! Getting enough sleep and making sure that the sleep you get is as clean and healthy as possible are critical to keeping you well and symptom free. The first step I would suggest you take is to go to your allergist and ask for a skin patch test to determine what is making you feel sick. Then you need to develop a behavior modification plan that allows you to avoid contact with the allergic triggers your doctor identifies for you. Then I strongly suggest you encase your mattress and pillows with an effect allergen impermeable cover with a pore size of less then 1 micron. Take a look at the healthy sleep tips at www.cleanrest.com and make sure you follow the simple steps outlined there for your review, they are basic yet fundamental to getting the clean restful nights sleep your body so desperately deserves. When you have a lack of sleep your immune system does not run as efficiently as it normally does. Do your best to get as much sleep as you need every night. With the stomach distress - are you overly worried about anything? Try and figure out if there is anything in your life that is really a problem at the moment and work through it slowly. It won't happen overnight most likely but it will happen |
