Sleep Tip #39: Lift Your Bed Head When You Have a Cold

When you're feeling under the weather, getting a good night's rest could almost be impossible. Fortunately, there are ways to help relieve your cold symptoms for bedtime! Some people say that raising your head will help to drain your sinuses, but it is not wise to use pillows to accomplish that. Too many pillows will cause your neck to become strained and breathing may become difficult. Instead, try raising the head of your bed by putting large books under the legs of your headboard. This will help to create a more natural angle for you to rest on.
