    1. Don't try to sleep flat. Either get a big pillow under your upper body from waist to shoulders & then 2 under your head, or a wedge pillow, lift bed, or sleep in a recliner.

    2. A half tsp of honey right before bed

    3. Do everything you can to get your coughing done during the day. I spend 3-4 hours on 2 machines daily, use mucus thinners, etc. You can use postural drainage and an a cappella or flutter. Coughing on a schedule sounds funny, but essentially it is getting the cough under control.
