AM Nasal Symptoms: Several conditions will typically cause am symptoms such as yours, the most common being indoor allergies. Allergy to dust mites is usually worse overnight and in the morning due to exposure to mite debris in pillows and mattresses. Having contamination of bedding by a pet could also trigger symptoms in a pet-allergic person. Covering bedding and removing pets from the bedroom can help.

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.
