Answers:
Red Max may be on to something there with the nose, so if it is always stuffed up, you should ask your doctor about allergies or sinus trouble.

Once in a while I have the same problem you do, and I don't think you can just practice keeping your mouth shut--nor should you tape it up, because if your nose gets stuffed up, you need to be able to breathe through your mouth.

I do two things to try to counteract this problem: I drink more water, even drinking some at bedtime, in spite of having to get up to the bathroom in the night, and I sleep on my side and try to arrange the pillow so that it presses a bit on my jaw, or else I might have my hand against my jaw. Of course, once I fall asleep, my hand or the pillow sometimes moves, but using them seems to help.

Not sure if this will work, but you might also put a bit of Vicks vaporub around your nostrils and just inside your nose. It might help to keep the area moist and keep your nose open. I use it when I have a cold and my nose gets stuffed up.

Keep some water at the bedside so you can get quick relief when you wake up with a dry throat and mouth.Health Question & Answer
