Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2020 Feb;28(1):11-13. doi: 10.1097/MOO.0000000000000600.

Abstract

Purpose of review: To review the recent literature describing the association between chronic rhinosinusitis and its effects on sleep quality.

Recent findings: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) causes significantly worse sleep by both subjective and objective measures. CRS is also strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Treating CRS surgically improves subjective sleep scores.

Summary: CRS worsens sleep quality both subjectively and objectively. Sleep quality is improved after endoscopic sinus surgery.
