I do not know if anyone else gets this, but most mornings, I wake up with a terrible congestion, that even blowing my nose won’t remove. I noticed that usually some chunks of snuff fall to the sink, so I suspect that I should somehow keep my nose cleaner before bed…Right now I ve taken some blueberry menthol and I can breathe a bit better…but it is annoying to start your day like this. Any help will be appreciated!

A hot shower work for me. I could list many snuffs but if you don’t have them it won’t do you no good.

Thank you for your answer. Feel free to list some. Another member here PM’ed me some really potent menthols.

I often wake up congested in one nostril (either one), and just getting some new snuff up there does the trick, at least for a while. The finer the snuff - the easier and better the effect. I would list Dr. Verey’s Medicated as a good snuff for this, not really the finest, but a good one for this purpose. All in all a good morning snuff.

I nose clean after brushing teeth, before bed. No more snuff before bed. I always awoke with it giving me a sore throat, and yes, congestion the next day. I take a snus to bed with me often instead.

I would have to say that taking basement_shaman and Xander’s advice would be the best course of action. Typically taking a hot shower helps me out quite a bit, in terms of nasal congestion. However, it also probably a good idea to limit snuff consumption prior to bed to avoid any issues in the morning.

Doesn’t seem to bother me, I usually have a nice hit of Hedges before bed (I like the vidid dreams it seems to give me). I awake and have another hit. I do agree that a nice hot shower helps clear everything out.

Taking snuff just before going to bed seems like bad option to me. Every time I do it I wake up with my nose dried out and after 10 minutes my nose is runny. Runny for two hours. Therefore I warn you - thou shalt never go to sleep having snuff in your nostrils.

Occasionally I will wake with a bit of stuffiness’ but as others have noted- a warm shower usually gets things opened up. I should add that I use a CPAP which may help keep me open- even though I take snuff before putting my mask on I rarely get uncomfortably clogged.

Thank you all guys. Even though I spent the whole day snuffing, I followed your advice and stopped taking it 2-3 hours before bed and also cleaned my nose really well. Today I have got just one nostril clogged but a warm shower is in order. Again thank you for your insightful information.

Before bed i always clean very well nostrils with water and after i take a very very light tiny pinch of Sturco or JIP and work very freshly and well all night long, every morning i wake up with Full Open nostrils, works well for me, BUT all day long i keep nostrils clean, cleaning every time before and after the pinches…

I always take snuff right before bed, in fact I have a silver snuffbox on my nightstand just for my nightcap snuff and I’ve never had a problem when I wake-up in the morning in fact if I DON’T snuff before bed I will wake up all congested or dry-nosed, I needs my snuff nightcap.

@n9inchnails . Do you have a particular night snuff???Or whatever you like most?

I use 6P Kailash or 5P Himalaya as my nightcap, best part about them is you can still smell them when you wake up in the morning
