If you have trouble sleeping at night because of congestion or other symptoms, one of those overnight cold/flu symptom-relievers (Nyquil, etc.), will help you get more sleep and thus get better faster.
Keeping nasal/sinus/chest congestion down is a good thing during the day, too, because it makes you more comfortable, more likely to sleep, and reduces the chance of secondary sinus infections after the main cold/flu drops off. My favorite "natural" decongestant is 12 drops of Tobasco sauce in a tumbler of warm water, well-stirred. Chug it. It helps with sinus congestion and even coughs, and you can drink it as often as you can stand it. It's kind of like drinking liquid heat.
