I always wake up with a stuffy nose and im all congested. this seems strange to me but its been that way for a long time.
is this abnormal? do you ever wake up congested?
i was thinking allergies but its only when i sleep perhaps take a benadryl before bed? bad/good idea?
do you have any tips?
thanks guys,
:) monkmano

It is abnormal and I do think it's an allergy. It might be in your bed (mites) or an other reason can be your pillow. My son had the same problem and is sleeping now with pillow filled with kind of "nuts" instead of foam or worser feathers.
It also can be that there is something wrong inside your nose and it's harder to breath... if that is the case you should see what happens if you lay down (without sleeping) somewhere else. What happens after 1 hour or longer?

thanks, i think maybe it is my pillow they are supposed to keep cool but its a type that would gather even more irritating bits too.
thanks for the idea, i will try laying on the couch hopefully not have to sleep on it for too long ... though that may be best

I am not really sure medically speaking if congested nose in the morning is normal or not. But I have a friend who have the same condition and it bothers her a lot. So she bought a humidifier for her room and she plugs it on every time before bed. It does not only make her room smelling fresh and clean but it sort of also makes the air in her room less heavier.
