Good question : A lot has to do with the anatomy of the head and neck. It is very different in this area. The blood pools when you lay down causing oressure to the sinus. Then you add on other factors duch as pollen smoke other environment metal insults and you wake up clogged

Deviated & inflamed: Nasal congestion on one side means the partition between the 2 nostrils is not right in the middle. That alone is not to blame. You may have inflammation coming from allergies: pollen or foods or chemicals or early viral infection. Over the counter Flonase and claritin may help but if long standing you will need to see an ear nose throat doc.
