Whatever headgear you choose, you must cover your head at night . , . summer, winter, spring and fall. Woolly ski hats are great—especially the covered—face style—to keep warm the sinus cavity under the eyes. Or pull a lighter ski or sailor's cap down over your cheekbones.

It's most important to cover the ears, too. Gals especially are reluctant to spoil their hairdos. Forget it . . . just get that hair up in a bun (for extra insulation) and cover those ears.
You'll find that night hats slip off long hair. To avoid this, I've used a warm flannel diaper folded in a triangle and worn Aunt Jemima fashion. On hot nights I wear one of those terry-cloth turbans you can pick up at a notion counter for 98¢. l have a drawerful of night head-coverings and wouldn't dream of going to bed without one. I use night-shades too, as does my husband, who won't cover his head because lie perspires so. However, he only suffers from lower-cavity sinus pains, so it's not so important.
Granted, you won't look very glamorous in bed in a ski hat or diaper, but I'll guarantee that your sinus will clear up and you'll awaken refreshed and free from pain. This old precaution was given me by a Scottish lady long ago. I've blessed her these many years and am glad to pass her advice on to all sinus sufferers. It's so simple that it sounds silly . . . but it works!
