Possible allergy: You may be dealing with allergy to house dust mite, or even mold, if your home is damp. You can get tested easily with a simple skin test to house dust mite, for example. An allergist is best able to help you evaluate what is going on. If you aren't able to see someone, you can purchase allergen encasings for mattress, box spring and pillow. This is expensive, so it's best to really know first.

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.
