What Causes Insomnia While Suffering From Sinusitis?

I often have trouble sleeping. It got worse starting with cool weather this fall. I took cephalexin for skin infection and it helped me sleep a lot, soon after stopping the antibiotic, insomnia came back. Why would the antibiotic help sleep? I do have chronic sinusitis, and some diabetes.

Hi
As you stated in your query that whenever you took cephalaxin for infection , there you feel good sleep .
When there is sinusitis there develop insomnia .
In my opinion your sinusitis may be associated with some sort of infection , so whenever you take antibiotics it help to control infection ( which may be associated with allergy , sinusitis ).
So cephalexin never induce sleep but eradication of infection provided you much needed relief i.e. sleep.
Hope this will help you.
Further, if any question I will reply.
I find this answer helpful
