Possible : It is a normal anatomic variant. If turbinate is too bulky and obstructing the sinus ostium may caused sinusitis, inflammation and breathing disturbance.The surgery may eliminate the problem and improve sleep.

Yes: Nasal obstruction can cause sleep disorder and surgery for concha is quite simple and may improve your sleep by reducing the obstruction.
