One of the annoying parts of being congested is not being able to breathe well through your nose and having to turn into a mouthbreather at night.

I usually do nasal irrigation before bed when I have congestion, that helps a lot.
And when it gets really bad I use a nasal spray to get a propwr night's sleep, but you need becareful with those as your bidy can quickly become addicted.
Normal otc decongestant also works well. I prioritize sleep quality over 'not using medicines' as that's how the body heals itself.
But, after switching to a almost no carb diet and working out a bit more, I haven't gotten sick in years.
Occasional sore throats but they go away quickly.
Thanks Piriya! I’m very much the kind that goes the natural route instead of using meds, but I agree that one should always prioritize sleep. I’m feeling better but I’ll keep in mind those tips!
I just got back from my long trip so maybe it’s my body finally reacting to all that change 😅
