I've had a chronic stuffy nose for the past few weeks which has made it tough for me to fall and stay asleep. It's more clogged when laying down that upright.
But I don't have a cold or anything (just a little pleghm in throat).

I've tried just about everything, but nothing's seemed to work.
Vapor rub, Benadryl (for allergies), etc.

Anyone know any home remedies?

Afrin is the most awesome stuff in the world, but you can't use it that long. Sometimes when I'm really stuffed up and can't sleep I use that stuff. Oh man, when my nose clears I want to find the dude that invented it, and give him a big hug or something. That stuff rules.

Take a hot shower, put some pillows under your head and /sleep.
This usually helps me.

Get a humitifier

And google netti pot

It used warm slat water to clean your sinus.

Works like a charm for me

I used to use Afrin but my nose got hooked on it. So I stoped and only use it when I REALLY need it.
