As soon as i am in bed ready to sleep my nose gets stuffed up. WHY?

fourt6 - It seems that you may be allergic to something in your bedroom. Sometimes, if your comforter (blanket or duvet) or pillows are stuffed with down (goose feathers), that is the cause. Other possibilities = detergent soap allergy from your washing detergent or pollen in your deep-pile carpeting. What you could do immediately is to go to your pharmacy (drug store) and buy a 2-ounce spray bottle of normal saline and spray twice in each nostril as you go to bed to prevent dryness. If you can, maybe your home heating system needs a change of air filter or cleaning of the one(s) you have. Allergy medicine at bedtime, like benadryl bought without a prescription may help. Good luck!
