Can’t Sleep From A Cough? Eat Honey
As an antibacterial, honey can relieve mucous and irritation in the throat. It’s perfect for a persistent cough that makes people lose sleep. According to a 2012 study, children slept better and coughed less after eating two teaspoons of honey 30 minutes before bed.
Researchers said that the honey relieved sinus congestion and postnasal drip in children. Eucalyptus, citrus, and Labiatae honey worked the best during the study. For less throat irritation, mix the honey with an herbal tea such as ginger.
