Sleeping with a dry cough
 

Hi guys,

Been fighting off a cold for the past week or so. I have a REALLY tough time sleeping due to a dry cough that seems to escalate when I lie down, and it keeps me up for hours.

I've tried taking benylin cough syrup, two teaspoons of honey before bed, sleeping in an upright position....NOTHING works.

Can anyone suggest something that will straight up knock me out or make me super drowsy? Or at least suppress my cough well enough that I can get some sleep?

Post up whats worked for you. Please and thanks

smoke some weed

weed will hurt your throat and cough more but it will knock you out

I'm talking legal remedies here guys. Remedies that dont require me to smoke anything

maybe have some beer i always get tired after having some beer lol...are you sleeping with fans on, if so turn them off. and you could try a humidifier

Tylenol 3's
And you'll get a nice wicked dream

I find alcohol can dry out my mouth/throat sometimes - which might make matters worse.

Try Buckley's. I find the effect doesn't last long - but might be long enough for you to fall asleep. It really does taste like shit, but it just coats your throat and stops your cough.

Thanks, I'll give nyquil a shot

a tiny bit of honey, lots of lemon and warm orange pekoe tea. works wonders.

I use Neo-Citran the Nighttime Formula. It usually knocks me out prettyquick.

neo-citran knocks me out fast too. go see a doctor and ask them for cotridin which has codeine+cough syrup which can also knock you out.

Or play that game that Seth Rogan suggested: "Take 4 Excedrin Nightime and try to masturbate before you fall asleep" from 40-Year-old Virgin

I ended up going to superstore and talking to a pharmacist, she gave me a cough syrup with codeine in it, and she said it should do the trick :D

Time to finally catch up on some sleep!

neo citrin or wine does it for me

Wouldn't alcohol further hinder your immune system while fighting a cold?

yeh, the wine is just something that will flat out put me to sleep through the night. not meant to help fight a cold. i should have clarified haha.

lmfao at weed and beer..guys cough is clearly nagging him and making him unable to sleep, i really don't see how either things could help

Nyquil or benadryl should do the trick and knock you out

drink some green tea before u pass out?
