Sleep Better with a Stuffy Nose – ENT Care in San Tan, Arizona
Fall’s fluctuating weather and drier air can make your nose stuffy, making sleep difficult. Seasonal allergies, colds, sinus infections, acid reflux, or a deviated septum are common causes of nasal congestion.
Tips to Sleep Better with a Stuffy Nose
-
Prop Yourself Up: Sleeping with your head elevated helps keep sinuses clear. Use a high pillow, recliner, or adjustable bed.
-
Humidify the Room: A humidifier or vaporizer adds moisture to dry air, easing nasal irritation.
-
Use Nasal Sprays Carefully: Limit decongestant sprays to 3 days to avoid rebound congestion; steroid sprays are safe for daily use.
-
Manage Allergies: Wash bedding, reduce dust, avoid smoke, and consult an ENT for allergy testing.
