Bronchostop Nite

When coughing keeps you awake at night, know that you're not alone.

Many of us have experienced those nights when a cough seems relentless. A cough is one of the leading causes of disturbed sleep during colds and flu.

A night-time cough can significantly impact sleep quality and even result in missed days at school or work. Common causes of a night-time cough include viral infections, postnasal drip, and even gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

During a cold and flu, the upper airway can become irritated, making it more sensitive to cough triggers. It is especially at night when the throat is at its driest. A postnasal drip is another common cause of night-time cough. It is often associated with colds, flu, or allergies. It occurs when your body produces excess mucus, which drips down your nasal passageways and into your throat to trigger a cough reflex. Postnasal drip happens more easily at night when you're lying down.
