durring winter the air is much dryer than normal, if your max setting on your humidifier isn't enough, especially on your PR1 you probably need a room humidifier to supplement....

You can try boiling water to help raise your humidity when you are there to supervise and putting out pots of water just to help raise it while you are getting better. At night I use a little blanket that I pull right over my head. I find then my breath creates a more humid environment so my nasal passages don't get dried out.

Have you tried the AYR nasal spray before bedtime and again in the AM?
