To go along with this is also risk to one’s health and potentially death.

53 per 100,000 pilots was the death rate amongst pilots in 2018 according to The University of Delaware .

This doesn’t sound like a lot, until you consider it was the #2 most dangerous occupation in the US that year.

Behind #1 Loggers (111 per 100k) and ahead of #22 Police Officers (14 per 100k).

So it’s one thing to have a flight sim rig and at worst fall off your chair. A whole another thing to potentially make a mistake in an actual plane and pay the price with your life.

Used to always have clogged nostrils when going to bed.

But when I slept at hotels I never had a clogged nose.

Turns out I was just allergic to dust mites.

Bought anti-dustmite sheets / spray and boom, no longer had clogged nostrils in bed.

Anti-dustmite spray helps kill a good amount! I was actually impressed with how fast it worked.

That and getting dust mite sheet covers for both your mattress and pillows is effective and over time will kill them off.

My initial steps I took were:

• taking bed sheets and pillow covers to the washing machine
• applying anti-dustmite cover to mattress
• applying anti-dustmite cover to pillows
• putting bed sheets and pillow covers over the anti-dustmite covers
• spraying the anti-dustmite spray over and letting dry

Immediately noticed the difference and stopped getting a clogged nose in bed that day

I recommend getting both the anti-dustmite sheets and pillow covers as well as the spray!

A combination of all 3 legit stopped giving me a clogged nose at night immediately.

Haha I actually brought this up in my comment to OP, but do you find that you have this clogged nose in hotels or other places?

If not, and you notice it just at home you may be allergic to dust mites.

I bought dust mite bed covers, pillow covers, and spray and applied them after washing my original bed sheets and pillow covers.

Immediately that day I stopped having a clogged nose in bed.

I’d been suffering all my life thinking it was normal to have a clogged nose in bed lol, turns out I had an allergy.
