Do you know how to sleep with a Cold?<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve fallen ill with a common cold and you&#8217;re feeling sick, getting a good night&#8217;s sleep is key to helping you get better. But sometimes, it&#8217;s easier said than done!<\/p>\n<p>Suffering from a runny nose, sore throat and dry cough can make it hard to fall asleep &#8211; and stay asleep once you&#8217;ve managed to drift off (after all, cold symptoms don&#8217;t rest just because you are!).
