Why are my hay fever symptoms worse early in the morning?

I get woken every morning between 4-5a.m. with a sneezing attack that lasts for about an hour or more. Then the allergies aren't so bad for the rest of the day, but I always wonder why I have to suffer through two awful hours before the symptoms improve.

It's because the pollen counts are higher in the morning. Plants release their pollen earlier in the day, thus anyone with hayfever will find this part of the day more annoying.

Because pollen is released early in the day, rises with the warm air and falls again in the evening.

This year it seems to be worse.

Well if you sleep with any windows open in your house that could do it. I knwo what you mean though. When I wake up I have a stuffy nose but then in like an hour or two and I'm fine. I take Zyrtec every morning but before I go to bed I take a benadryl and that seems to help. Hope I helped

Because the pollen count is the worst in the morning. I think it has to do with when the plants release their pollen and the way the weather is in the morning, cooler, not much breeze, etc. So the pollen sticks closer to the ground and affects us allergy sufferers.

It may help if you wash your hair in the eening to get rid of any pollen that might be left in there.
