But I suspect that's not the question you were asking.
Does it really work: It works for me, yes. But we are all different and I suspect it'd have different effect on different people.
Why does it work (for me)?
I don't know for sure, it could be placebo effect or... I have read that lack of sleep affect the production of cortisol and histamine, interestingly enough some studies say increase, some say decrease (could it be a different effect based on individual?). The fact is, both histamine and cortisol affect the immune response, and allergies are basically your immune system reacting too much or reacting to the wrong thing.
Definitely not sustainable for more than 2 or 3 days, but it's a nice way to take a break from drugs.
