Singulair (montelukast): Occasionally people get insomnia from singulair (montelukast) especially when it is taken at night as instructed. Some have found relief by taking it in the morning instead.

Allergies: Allergies can make your asthma significantly worse. If the singulair (montelukast) is causing a problem with sleep, either try taking in the morning or discontinuing it after talking to the dr. Who prescribed it. Other options would be a 24h antihistamine such as Allegra or zyrtec for your allergies; temporarily increasing the advair to better control the asthma; nasal sprays are great for allergies. Good luck.
