Autumn is beautiful, but the change of seasons may be a nightmare on your allergies. This fall, help prevent the nuisance of hay fever and other allergies during they day by going to bed earlier at night.

Going to bed before midnight leads to fewer allergy symptoms, according to a new study reported by Woman’s World.

In the study of over 84,000 participants, researchers found that those who fell asleep before midnight  – no matter how many actual hours of sleep they had – experienced less wheezing, itchy eyes and the like than those who fell asleep after the magic hour.
