Most people breathe thru one nostril at a time and alternate between them. Or rather one nostril is much more active than the other. This way, they can regenerate and also, some smells are easier to pick up thru slow air and others thru fast air
I’m unfortunate in that my brain doesn’t ever ignore this, so I basically have a nervous tic of sniffing to get air to flow through. Although it doesn’t help that my ears have been constantly popping for the past 20 years and sniffing hard is a quick way to unpop them.
