Answers:
Do the tea!. Run hot water in your sink and put a towel over it to trap the steam!. When there is lots of steam in there, stick your head under the towel and breath in the steam!. That will help a tiny bet with your congestion!.

Here's a good site too:

Aww sucks!. Well, it takes your body seven minutes to fall asleep, so I would suggest trying to just lie in bed with your eyes closed, pull up the covers so your nice and cozy, try to not think about your cold, and relax!. When I can't get to sleep I try to solve problems in my head!. If that doesn't work, spray lavender in your room, make hot chocolate!. You will fall asleep eventually!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Heat up a mug or a bowl of water in the microwave really hot so it gets steamy and put your face over it and try to breath in!. The only problem is once you lay down again you'll probably get plugged up all over again, but it's worth a shot!. :( Feel better hun!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try to sleep as elevated as you can!. If you have a bed post, prop up a pillow on it and try to sleep sitting upward, it should help with the congestion a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Buy some Vix vapour rub and dynatap because it clears your nose!. Take a couple of panadol or nurofen!. Try to forget about it, I no its hard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

use a curved straw then insert it to your nose then suck it then spit it away!.

try drinking hot milk with honey in it! if meds r out of reach & turn off the AC when u sleep if it is separated in u'r room & one thing try nasal drops u can get them in any super market they r not that dangerous so u don't need any prescription they will help u to breath as this will also help u to sleep the maine thing is try to stay warm! at the end of the day don't worry it just a cold it will pass after few days, if u don't feel better I suggest u visit a doctor just to fast things up! hope this helps!!
