A stuffy nose overnight, often from allergies or colds, can be cleared with natural health techniques that open airways and promote drainage. Nasal saline rinses before bed flush irritants, reducing congestion. Elevating the head during sleep aids sinus drainage. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil loosens mucus for easier breathing. Drinking warm chamomile tea relaxes nasal tissues, easing swelling. Avoiding late-night dairy prevents mucus thickening. These evidence-based methods, rooted in respiratory care, ensure restful sleep by enhancing airflow and reducing inflammation, providing overnight relief without medications and supporting nasal health.
