nasal dilators definitely help a lot. I've tried the mute brand you posted and another style that smells of lavender and the mute ones are better. my only problem is I subconsciously mid sleep pull it out because they are a bit uncomfortable like you mentioned, or it falls out at some point of the night and gets lost in the bed. it is amazing how much more air I can breathe through my nose with one in though, and I definitely feel much more rested using them when they stay in. I knew they worked the first time I fell asleep and woke up the next morning in the same position


Yeah exactly. I frequently wake up to realize I yanked the sucker out at some point, sometimes even with groggy recollection of it. (Though I do the same to a CPAP mask when I use one)

But it clearly works in the best case scenario. And sometimes it's the only way I can even breathe well enough to fall asleep.
