Summary
The hypothesis is that pseudoephedrine, a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a
decongestant, will decrease nasal congestion leading to increased patency of the nose and a
decrease in nighttime sleep fragmentation in individuals with year round perennial allergic
rhinitis (PAR). This decrease in sleep fragmentation will reduce daytime somnolence and
fatigue.
