I personally have relied on this medication from time to time when I have a hard time falling asleep do to a stuffy nose or congested head. It works great at reliving symptoms and allows yo to drift of into a nice peaceful sleep for hours.

I must assure you that it truly is in my experience the best sleep that I have ever gotten on a cold or flu.

However there are certain times where it may not be suitable for you to take NyQuil, if you are certain medications or consume more then three drinks of alcohol on a daily basis. It may also be good to take NyQuil if you have other medical conditions. the best thing to do is read all the directions and warnings on the package before you take the medication.
If your cough is not clearing up after a certain amount that it states on the box and if your throat is still for more then a few days it is vital that you seek medical attention. As with any medication you should consult with your doctor of any symptoms worsen or persist for a period of time.
Overall personally I have alway been able to get a great nights sleep with NyQuil when I catch the cold or the flu and I would recommend it to others that are having a hard time sleeping due to a cold or flu.
