The no sleep was what kills me too! I am going to try a little something in my night tea later.

Just call it a Hot Toddy. My grandmother always made her a "hot toddy" before bedtime. I always thought it was just a warm cup of tea.

SD, hope you get to feeling better soon!

I'm also a believer/user of the Nettipot. Doesn't completely fix sinus related issues, but it sure helps me.

Colds, hot tea, honey, and a bit of something special helps my throat. I try to avoid too many throat lozenges, as they aren't appreciated by my stomach.
 
This is the closest to what I do:

2 ounces bourbon whisky
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2 ounces)
2-4 ounces water (optional)
1 tablespoon honey

Mix the bourbon, lemon juice, and water (if using) in a tumbler or mug and heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds. (You can also do this on the stovetop in a little saucepan.) Take out and add the honey. Whisk to combine, then microwave for another 45 seconds.

If you're sick, it's best not to drink this too hot; a good warm temperature is better. Take it to bed and nurse it slowly with a book in the other hand. Sleep well!

That is about what I made last night. I did use tea instead of water and probably a little more than 2 ounces of bourbon. ;) I did sip on it while I watched tv. (Goodness, there is nothing but stupid on late at night...I stuck with HGTV and House Hunters) It did help me finally fall asleep. Night before, I swear I had none. I do feel slightly better this morning than yesterday. I could not even think yesterday I was so stuffed up with no sleep. :'(
