Mucus harmless: Do you have a cat in the house? If you do, your allergy to cat dander may be a contributory factor. You do not need q tips either, just wash your face with water. If your eyes are red or itchy, you should see an eye doctor.

No cause for concern: However there's the possibility of nasolacrimal duct obstruction causing ur symptoms and sleep apnea that makes u comfortable sleeping face down. Follow up with ur dr. Take care!
