Sleep Better Despite a Stuffy Nose: San Tan ENT Solutions
Dry air, seasonal allergies, colds, acid reflux, or a deviated septum can make it hard to sleep due to nasal congestion. Fall’s temperature changes and lower humidity can worsen sinus issues, leaving many struggling to breathe comfortably at night.
Common Causes of Nasal Congestion
-
Allergies: Dust, pollen, pets, and mold irritate nasal passages.
-
Colds & Flu: Respiratory infections cause sinus pressure and blockage.
-
Acid Reflux: Stomach acid can irritate nasal passages when lying down.
-
Deviated Septum: Off-center nasal cartilage can block airflow and lead to chronic congestion.
Tips for Relief
-
Sleep Upright: High pillows, recliners, or adjustable beds help sinus drainage.
-
Humidify Your Room: Moist air soothes inflamed nasal passages.
-
Use Nasal Sprays Wisely: Limit decongestant sprays to 3 days to avoid rebound congestion.
