Any tips on ways i can get to sleep with a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congestion/drain: Colds offer congestion alternating with drainage "of the upper respiratory kind." i generally recommend humidification (warm/cold) or nasal saline to help rinse congested areas. Sinus rinse can be helpful for this. Also recommend menthol coating (vicks, etc), not internal but on your chest or philtrium. Avoid alcohol based cold products that will wake you up.
