: I would recommend evaluation for possible sleep apnea by a physician; but doing this on a trial basis is unlikely to be harmful to you. If your nose is clogged often, a sinus rinse followed by a nasal steroid like Flonase, may be helpful to you. Would recommend discussing this all with your primary care.
