Answers:
it is common - your sinuses are full.
there are a couple of things you can do. You can sleep in a recliner instead of in bed - this keeps you more upright and helps a ton.
I also suggest you go to Walgreen's and get a neti pot. This will allow you to wash your sinuses with saline solution and remove a lot of the mucus before going to bed - this will help too. I know that sounds gross - but hey gross question, gross answer :) but I suffer too and trust me - it works!
Traditional medicinals makes a decongestant tea that is phenomenal. You should be able to find it at a health food store.
finally you can use a good decongestant - the original sudaphed (not PE) that you get from the pharmacist works very well. But I prefer to go with natural options whenever possible.
