Me after rolling to the other side
Sleep on your other side and be amazed as the problem mirrors itself
I heard this was actually by design. Nostrils should naturally alternate maximum blowage capacity.

(It gets worse when you are congested?)
This is a bad design.
It’s for humidification of the nose and increases the range of smells one is able to smell. What in particular is a bad design about that?
Failure modes were not considered.
It’s terrible and annoying and I hate it. And it’s my nose.
It’s one of the better bad designs, in some cases. Something, something self-regulating air flow. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.
If there was any intelligence involved in our design, it was similar to a kid buying aftermarket parts for his car on eBay that then strapped them to one or two bits of ultra high grade equipment. The end result is something like a nice Supra that drives around town making weird farting noises.
Triggered some Thomas the Tank Engine trauma
I think he deserved it, don’t you?
I read somewhere on Reddit or somewhere way back when about The nasal cycle where one nostril sort of constricting (just due to blood flow and normal sinus congestion) allows for optimal air flow and moisture in our nostrils.
The poster also said that if this regular nasal cycle resulted in being unable to breathe on one side, consistently, you have a deviated septum. I don’t know if that’s 100% true, but I 100% had a deviated septum.
give it 150 minutes
I heard sending all the blood to your penis gives you limited, temporary relief.
I have a similar problem with my buttplug.
The only difference is the holes in the wall when I fart…
