Losing Sleep Over Allergies
 Allergies may interfere with your child's sleep, especially during Spring months when allergies are at their worst, researchers report in recent study by Sepracor Inc, the U.S. marketing partner of Denmark-based Nycomed Co. Of those parents surveyed, 29 percent said allergies led their children to suffer from a lack of sleep, compared with 12 percent of parents whose children did not have allergies. A full 40 percent of parents said their children's nasal allergies interfere with school performance, compared to 10 percent of parents whose children did not have allergies. Nearly half of the children in the study take prescription medication for allergy symptoms. Allergies are the most frequently reported chronic condition in children, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
