A member asked:
What can i do to go to sleep. due to allergies or a cold. my breathing is what's stoping me from sleeping and i can't breath through my nose. any tips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep nose open: If the problem is mostly from allergies, then OTC nasal steroid may help. If it is due to a crooked septum, you may try BreatheRight strip or see an ENT to get it straightened out. If medication does not work and no crooked nose, see allergist. Sleep disruption has major impact on your quality of life and performance and must not be ignored.
