Why do cold symptoms get worse at night?

Do you sometimes feel like you're overcoming a cold during the day, but it seems to worsen at night in bed? You're not alone in this feeling, and there are reasons why you feel cold at night even though you feel fine during the day. For one, your body fights the virus at night as your internal clock directs energy towards daily tasks during the day. Another factor is lying down, which can make you feel congested at night. And when you lie down to sleep at night, there are fewer distractions, making your symptoms more noticeable. To make nighttime cold symptoms more bearable, it's important to drink plenty of fluids to help clear congestion. You should also consider eating spicy or sharp foods before bedtime, as this can help reduce inflammation and relieve congestion.
