How to sleep with sinusitis?

A very practical tip for sinusitis is to use a saline nasal spray about 15 minutes before you plan to sleep. It thins the mucus and opens up the nasal passages. Pair that with keeping your head propped up at a 30-degree angle to prevent fluid from pooling in your head.

Yaar, sleeping flat with sinusitis is actually impossible, you feel like your head will explode. I always do steam inhalation with a drop of eucalyptus oil right before hit the bed. And keep your head elevated with an extra pillow, it makes a huge difference.

I was researching online because my nose blocks up every night, and apparently gravity is our enemy here! Sleeping flat makes all the mucus settle in your sinuses. I tried sleeping elevated on three pillows last night and it actually helped me breathe much better.

Haan na, sinusitis headache gets so much worse when you lie down in the cold. I always wear a soft cotton cap to cover my ears and head at night. It keeps the head warm and really helps to sleep peacefully, ho na.

I used to panic so much thinking I had some major breathing issue when my nose blocked up at night. But don't worry, it is just common sinusitis. Running a cool-mist humidifier in your bedroom keeps the air moist and makes breathing so much easier while you sleep.

Drinking a cup of hot water with ginger and tulsi before bed works beautifully to open up your sinuses naturally. Elevate your head with a high pillow to sleep. However, if you run a high fever or have severe eye pain, please see a doctor immediately.
