Icky nose

Ok, so when I sleep I always breathe thru my nose. I also have bad nasal problems and accumulate alot of nose ickies, especially at night. During the dry fall and winter months, and with the breathing thru my nose, it in turn gets vry dry. When I wake up I need to blow my nose however its too dry and when I do I get a bloody nose. Always in the same side. Does anybody else experience this? Does anybody have any tips on what I can do? Maybe put something in there before/after bed? Any help is appreciated.

    If it's the lack of humidity, you could try a humidifier for your room.

    If you don't fancy that, stick your head over some steamy water when you wake up. Or just have a hot shower.

    Bloody nose - I used to get this and got told that it's because I blow my nose too much. (Something to do with a blood vessel, can't remember what though)

    I made sure to take my shower before I even touched my nose and it worked great. Thanks!
