    You are being over enthusiastic about cleaning your ears! They really don't need or want that level of attention. It could be more a problem wiith your sinuses. When you are laying down they don't drain well and your ears feel clogged up (yes, they are all connected inside your face). Also, if you are cleaning your ears at night the peroxide could be irritating your ears and making the ear canal swell up a bit and it gradually subsides during the day.

    Give your ears a break and switch to cleaning them about once a month!
