In managing both allergic and sleep disorders, we gained insight into the impact these disciplines have upon each other. Comprehensive management requires attention to the underlying allergic disorder as well as identification and management of sleep-related problems. On the other hand, many children presenting to the Pediatric Sleep Medicine Center at Lurie Children’s Hospital have comorbid allergic symptomatology. Treatment only of the sleep-related difficulties does not result in optimal control of symptoms.
