Nasal cycling is what its called. And basically it means your body switches nostril once every few hours.

Pretty neat, as it keeps your ability to smell at the body’s best level – as all the receptors in one part of the nose is never blocked or overstimulated. – so it gives it a rest once in a while.

But its really annoying when sick. I agree.
