Stuffy Nose and Better Sleep: Chandler ENT Solutions
Fall brings fluctuating temperatures and drier air, making nasal congestion more common. Allergies, colds, acid reflux, and deviated septum can all contribute to a stuffy nose and disrupted sleep.
Common Causes
-
Allergies: Pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or smoke can swell sinuses year-round or seasonally.
-
Colds & Flu: Respiratory infections increase nasal congestion.
-
Acid Reflux: Lying down after meals can irritate nasal passages.
-
Deviated Septum: Off-center nasal cartilage can block airflow, causing snoring, sinus infections, and sleep issues.
Tips for Relief
-
Sleep upright: Use a high pillow, recliner, or adjustable bed to improve airflow.
-
Humidify your space: A humidifier or vaporizer soothes inflamed sinuses.
-
Manage allergies: Wash bedding, use allergen-free pillowcases, and limit smoke or pet dander.
-
Use nasal sprays carefully: Limit OTC decongestant sprays to avoid rebound congestion; steroid sprays are safe for daily use.
