3M makes filters for window and wall unit air conditioners that are 100x better than the standard screens. I use them every year and you can cut them to fit your particular unit's size.
I think I read somewhere that pollens are at their highest in the morning and that if you don't have a/c, sleeping with your window open can wreak a lot of havoc (no pun intended) if you are allergic.
There are also pillow and bed covers that are somewhat rubberized on one side to cut down on exposure to dust mites.
