Sleep Better with a Stuffy Nose – ENT Care in Scottsdale, Arizona
Fall’s dry air and fluctuating temperatures can make your nose stuffy, making sleep uncomfortable. Seasonal allergies, colds, sinus infections, acid reflux, or a deviated septum are common causes.
Tips for Sleeping with a Stuffy Nose
-
Prop Yourself Up: Elevate your head with a pillow, recliner, or adjustable bed to help sinuses drain and reduce congestion.
-
Humidify the Room: Use a humidifier or vaporizer to soothe dry, irritated nasal passages.
-
Use Nasal Sprays Wisely: Limit decongestant sprays to 3 days to avoid rebound congestion; steroid sprays are safe for daily use.
-
Manage Allergies: Wash bedding regularly, reduce dust, avoid smoke, and consult an ENT for allergy testing.
