ugh, my body is SO not cooperating with me! doesn't it know I have a big test on Monday?!?
I think my allergies are back to haunt me again. And by allergies, I don't really mean itchy eyes, runny nose - although I have had those - I mean my nose for some reason gets really irritated at night and decides to swell up and close off my nasal passages while I'm sleeping. Last night was the worst - I woke up this morning feeling like crap, like I had not just spent the last 9 hours sleeping but tossing/turning and who knows what else. And, I realized I could NOT breathe at all through my right nostril. It wasn't till I cleaned out my nasal passages using a Neti pot that I could breathe again.
so then this crappy feeling-ness (just made that up haha) persists until I decide I can't take it anymore, and take a nap. and I proceed to sleep from 2:30 till 5:30. wonderful!! now my circadian rhythm is super messed up :(
the thing that I don't understand is why it happens at night. I can spend all day in my room and be fine, and then at night this thing totally flares up to bother me. :( oh, Loma Linda, why must your air quality be so poor...

It happens to me all the time. Breathe through your mouth. It's easier, but has its disadvantages. My circ rhythmn is totally messedup and I need to drive 5+ hours tomorrow. lol.
Good luck with your exam studying. I'll be like that in September for my turn of quals.
Ha ha, I think it's funny that the ads on the left are for "sinus buster", "nasogel", "1 minute nasal irrigation", "night sweats", and "can't sleep?" ha ha!!!
And on that note... I was just going to say that I've heard that your body (and associated hormones) get into full swing at night. Perhaps that's why you are having more trouble at night? Whatever -- who cares -- either way it is annoying! so sorry. :(
