When you sleep, try and lay as stretched out as you can so that your windpipe will be able to open up and let the air in. This doesn't mean you have to try and sleep like a mummy, just that in easing open that passageway will probably help a lot. If allergies have your nose feeling all clogged up, bone up on the causes of allergies and try and alleviate the causes. It could be a food product or products, or seasonal like pollen or dust. If the wind blows and you start to get clogged up, then you may assume it's that. An aromatic vapor such as peppermint or other herbs will soothe the old airways. Using a vaporizer works wonders for breathing and it can be a chemical free way to go.
Wear loose clothing to bed. Make sure the temperature where you sleep is not over seventy. If you like layers of bed coverings, make sure you can throw off some if it gets too hot. If your body temperature rises you wake up and with interrupted sleep it's not such a good night's rest. If you have cooked and used fresh herbs, you know how soothing they are (especially sage or basil), I find. If you grow a little herb garden, or have some in a planter in the bedroom or other room, the smell from the herbs could be refreshing.
If you are a mouth breather and want to go back to breathing through your nose, practice may be needed. Your body learns something and it could be hard to break it of that habit. If you alleviate the clogged nose and there's nothing physical impeding nose breathing, then start a few minutes at a time and work back to it. Your nose is made to filter out a lot of the stuff that causes allergies, so getting back into that habit may do the trick. While you are driving, take a few deep breaths or sing along to the radio. This all helps to get your breathing system operational again. Try and fit in a thirty minute walk several times a week and let your arms swing. This is also good for your whole body. Of course, check with your doctor if you haven't done this in a while, or start by just walking around the block!
