Fell asleep on couch for hours. Would've stayed there if I hadn't turned off the heater at some point. Moved to bedroom which should've been pre heated between 8-11pm but the heat had all dissipated by the time I ambled in at 2:50am. I'm under so many layers but now I can't go back to sleep, grrr...

On the upside, first night without any coughing at all, probably from sleeping on the couch with my head raised much higher.

I fell asleep sitting up too and felt ok. In the past everyone used to sleep sitting up in box beds, they thought it was healthier. Maybe sleeping with lots of big pillows is not such a bad idea?

I think I'd need to push my bed up against a wall so I can prop pillows up against it for sideways support. I tried sleeping with lots of pillows in bed when my cough was worse but would keep sliding off
