I'm sick with a very intense cough and sore throat, and absolutely have to get up and go to school tomorrow morning. My cough is worse when I lay down. All I have are cough drops, cough medicine that doesn't seem to work, and tea (I wish I could drink it all night, but I wouldn't get any sleep). I don't think there is an answer to this, but I'm open to anything.

Do you have any lemon juice and honey in the house? If yes, mix a bit of both in to a teaspoon and see if that helps. I have tried it before with good success.
As for the resting, try propping your pillows up so that you are in a partial sitting position to see if that helps you sleep tonight.
If this cough has been going on for a while pls get in touch with a dr to have this evaluated. If insurance is an issue check with your city's health dept to see if they offer a free clinic. If not check to see if there is a Medical School close by.
Feel better soon.

lay back in bed with a bunch of pillows to elevate your head. you could try taking a sleeping pill. getting off the computer / tv would be helpful as well. taking a hot shower will help you relax and get the phlem out of your head if you have any.

use naps to rest up. anything over 20min. is good. i have a hard time sleeping for more than 3hrs. at a time. your body will tell you when its time to lay down for a 'power-nap'.you'll make it through the school day, and when you get home you can crawl right into bed. feel better!

By the time you read this you will probably be home from school. Take a hot bath and drink several glasses of blackberry brandy.

My husband does this, and he can only sleep sitting up in a recliner.
