Like seriously the time your body needs rest the most your throat is like I'm going to get extra scratchy right as you lay down, your body is like this bed I sleep on everyday suddenly makes all my joints achy, your skin is like I'm super cold j/k now I'm covered in sweat, and your brain is like I think right now would be the best possible time to vividly imagine all sorts of things that are impossible not to focus on.

You'd think evolution would have come up with some sort internal knockout drug for when you need to sleep.

Both your suggestions are more or less the same. The reason they are bad ideas is because alcohol disrupts your bodies ability to sleep deeply, so basically yes you do knock yourself out a bit but you wake up about as well rested as if you didn't sleep at all.

Get one of those television thingos to distract you from being sick.

Drink tea and honey.
Don't smash down pseudo cold tabs.
Get nighttime cold tabs that make you sleep.

Opium, will help with the cough/scratchy throat and make you sleepy.

all you have to do is go to the doctor and say that your coughing/sore throat is keeping you up all night and that OTC poo poo isn't working, and he'll send you home with a script for some opiate laden cough syrup which will be a lot of fun especially after you get better

I've just been drinking lots of tea mostly, it's nice on the throat.

I got some decent sleep, went to bed at like 9 and woke up every few hours up until like 4 or so, where I really couldn't fall back asleep and posted this thread, but then after I posted this thread and had some tea, I went back to sleep for a couple hours and here we are.

Make that next tea a long island and see how much better you feel.

Also instead of a dash of cola just use a dash of nyquil

Well, you're sitting around in your pajamas all day with nothing to do, so you might as well get drunk.

That is because your autonomic body systems are in a heightened state so it feels better.

Who the gently caress can't sleep when they are sick, that is also a basic function of our bodies. The op is nuts.

every time I try to sleep while sick I end up in this strange half-sleep where i'm absolutely convinced that I need to do some physical action in order to fall asleep, like I need to push myself up a little bit with my left arm every five minutes, or (and this is actually way worse) that I need to wait for a rock to move across a finish line. let me tell you rocks aren't known for being loving ambulatory but tell that to me when i've got a fever and half asleep and i'll fight you on it

last time i got sick i ended up downloading and sorta-watching the entirety of yes minister. was an ok show to watch while sick, a significantly less surreal experience than back in 2001 when my whole family got a nasty flu and all i could do was spend the entire week reading reader's digest's weird story collection. that book made it tolerable but didn't really help with the fever dreams, no
