Hunidification: Running a humidifier at night can help alleviate the problem. If the mucous is discolored, you may have an infection and it is recommended that you see a physician to get a nasal culture and an antibiotic if it is determined you have an infection. Allergies can also be an underlying cause especially if the mucous is watery and is associated with sneezing or nasal itching - try an antihistamine.

Possible reasons for: A.M. Nasal congestion include: if you sleep lying flat in bed, this gives mucus a chance to pool in your nasal passages. While you are sleeping the mucus thickens & you wake with congestion. If the air is dry in your home this can contribute to thickening of the mucus. Are you allergic to dust mites? They infest your pillows, mattress and bed linens leading to allergic reactions in some people.
