Congestion, which is caused by swollen tissue lining in the nose, can interfere with normal breathing, and the affected person's sense of smell and taste, in addition to interfering with their ability to sleep. Fortunately, several different methods of relieving the symptoms of congestion can be utilized in order to obtain the rest necessary for productivity and health.

  Take an over-the-counter remedy. Many nightime cold and flu remedies temporarily relieve congestion and some have a sleep aid as well.
