Sleep Better Despite a Stuffy Nose in Scottsdale, Arizona
Dry air, seasonal allergies, colds, acid reflux, or a deviated septum can make nasal congestion worse, making it hard to sleep. Fall’s temperature changes and low humidity can inflame sinuses, leaving many struggling to breathe comfortably at night.
Common Causes of Nasal Congestion
-
Allergies: Dust, pollen, pets, and mold can swell sinuses.
-
Colds & Flu: Respiratory infections increase sinus pressure and blockage.
-
Acid Reflux: Stomach acid may irritate nasal passages when lying down.
-
Deviated Septum: Off-center nasal cartilage can block airflow.
Tips for Relief

Humidify Your Room: Moist air soothes irritated nasal passages.
-
Use Nasal Sprays Wisely: Limit decongestants to avoid rebound congestion.
