This is something that was always done to us too and I still do it. I always tie a bandana style handkerchief round my neck at night too. Sometimes, to be on the safe side I wear a turtle neck and keep the bandana on all day. It seems to keep the nose open a little better. Hope that you feel better soon. HUgs :D
