Why Do My Cold Symptoms Feel Worse at Night?
Why do cold symptoms often feel worse at night? In this short video, Dr. S explains how your body’s natural rhythms shift during sleep and why that can intensify symptoms like congestion, sore throat, and coughing. As nighttime hormones change, the immune system increases its inflammatory response to help fight infection. While this process supports healing, it can also lead to more noticeable discomfort when you lie down to rest.
Dr. S also shares simple, supportive strategies—including warming socks and garlic-ginger tea—that can help ease symptoms while your body does the important work of recovery.
