I had to set a really early alarm to catch my flight to Dallas this morning, and I actually slept until it went off. My secret?
The Quil.
Usually if I have to get up super early for any reason, I wake up every hour on the hour to check and make sure I am not sleeping through my alarm.
It’s really annoying.
Then I’m awake before my alarm goes off and really tired from my night of no sleep.
But yesterday I had the beginnings of a head cold. And since I was taking DayQuil yesterday, I took NyQuil last night to complete the continuous cycle of medication I had started. As a result, I slept like a baby…and seriously thought my smoke detector was beeping when I was jarred awake in the wee hours.
What have we learned?
NyQuil. It’s not just for head colds anymore.

I love NyQuil. I take it when I feel like I’m getting a cold. Sleep like a baby and wake up fully rested and no cold. Voila!
