Sleeping comfortably after turbinate reduction requires elevating your upper body using multiple pillows or an adjustable wedge to keep your head raised at a thirty to forty-five-degree angle, which significantly minimizes internal swelling and nasal bleeding. Patients must strictly avoid sleeping flat on their back or on their stomach, as horizontal positioning increases blood flow to the head and exacerbates congestion. Utilizing a bedside humidifier and applying prescribed saline mists right before bed also helps prevent excessive drying and crusting overnight.
