Nasal Congestion: What helps, especially at night?

Mostly the same story, still need to find the allergy and see a specialist regarding the passages. I think not just uncomfortable but a bit dangerous to have these sleep problems. I'm going back for a breathing test this year and am amassing a checklist.

I see others suggested making your home "allergy-friendly" - which we had to do for our kids. We found out we all breathed better.
Here's what our home looks like now:
No carpet except on stairs, no shoes in the house
Washable bedspreads, comforters, blankets and pillows, washed & dried frequently
HEPA air filtration in main living area and bedrooms in addition to whole-house air filter
All window coverings easily washed or dusted
No pets in sleeping areas and we had to get rid of birds and ban friends' cats (specific allergies)
Fragrance-free, allergy-friendly laundry and cleaning products
No scented candles or air fresheners

Our latest approach - adjustable bed with head raised about 20 degrees, has helped too.
