I’ve been using CPAP for about a year and still haven’t quite settled in to it. One thing that I have realized is that even a mild amount of congestion can really ruin a night’s sleep.

I’m curious to know what people do to keep their sinuses clear. I’m not talking about when you have a bad cold, just the usual day to day mild congestion. It’s winter and dry out, and my sinuses seem just blocked enough that I wake up a few times in the night breathing through my mouth and that makes me sooooo dry. Ugh it feels awful.

Some specs: I use ResMed AirSense 10 for her and an AirFit N20 nasal mask. I’m not having enough mouth leakage to warrant a full face mask, just asking about sinus maintenance, which seems to be an important part of this whole experience. So what is it? Steroid spray? Saline spray? Nasal wash? I’d love to hear your routine.
