Summary:Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of allergic rhinitis (AR) on sleep quality (SQ). Methods: This prospective study evaluated the AR symptoms and skin prick tests (SPT) in all participants.

The SQS scores and the effect of symptoms on SQ were statistically compared. Results: The mean SQS score of the groups was 68.68±13.15 in the AR group and 47.72±9.3 in the control group.
