11 Emotional Stages Of Trying To Get Some Sleep With A Blocked Nose

We've all been there. Trying to sleep, but then your nose gets all stuffy and blocked. Otrivin totally understands these stages, and they want you to get a good night's sleep.

1. Confusion

Only yesterday everything was OK. Now you're questioning just how much breathing you do through your nose and why it was so important before.

2. Sadness

Remembering all the good times you had with your unblocked nose.

3. Regret

Not appreciating just how amazing breathing was and is.

4. Happiness

Thinking you've unblocked your nose because you've found that just-right angle to rest your head on the pillow.

5. Anger

Realising the pillow trick only gave you false hope, and your nose is still blocked.

6. Frustration

Like seriously why is this the only time you realise just how amazing being able to breathe normally really is?

7. Anxiety

Thinking you won't get enough sleep for work for whatever you've got on the next day.

8. Hope

Maybe a hot tea will clear out the sinuses? BUT you're in bed already. And tea means you'd have to get up out of bed. NOPE.

9. Remorse

Never not being prepared for this state of affairs again.

10. Acceptance

The final stage where you just accept you've failed and try to breathe through your mouth to get some sweet, sweet sleep...only to give up on that in two minutes because you've now got cottonmouth. :(
