Why Cold Symptoms Are Worse at Night


From: The New York Times


It's cold and flu season. That means you're very likely surrounded by a symphony of coughs and sniffling noses — if you're not actively coughing yourself.


And whether your main complaint is a cough, a fever, a headache or a runny or stuffy nose, you may notice that you tend to feel worse at night.


That's not your imagination. Several factors are to blame, starting with your circadian rhythm, which is your body's internal clock. When the sun sets, it tells your brain to wind down for bed and, at the same time, spurs certain immune cells to become more active. Every night, those cells are recruited to different parts of your body, on the lookout for invading pathogens like viruses and bacteria.


“When they identify and try to fight off viruses, the immune cells can cause irritation and inflammation, which ends up making respiratory symptoms worse at night,” said Dr. Diego Hijano, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.


Certain hormones, like cortisol, also follow a circadian rhythm. Cortisol levels are highest in the morning, which may help suppress inflammation during the day and, in turn, tamp down symptoms. As cortisol levels begin to fall in the evening, symptoms may start to flare up again.


Another factor that can make cough and cold symptoms worse at night is called postnasal drip, the mucus that starts to pool at the back of your throat when you are lying down.


“Throughout the day, the accumulation of mucus is less of a problem because gravity helps drain it when you are upright and moving around,” said Dr. Juan Chiriboga-Hurtado, a family medicine specialist at Keck Medicine of the University of Southern California. But at night, mucus can build up and trigger your instinct to cough and clear your airways.


The lack of distractions — which is typically a good thing for sleep — also makes it harder to ignore your scratchy throat at night. And the environmental conditions in your bedroom, like the dryness of the air, can irritate your respiratory tract, Dr. Chiriboga-Hurtado said.


Other illnesses, like allergies, asthma and gastrointestinal reflux, are also linked to coughing that tends to worsen at night for many of the same reasons, he said. And some medicines, like certain blood pressure drugs, might also make you cough more.


For most people with a common cold, nighttime coughing should clear up in five to seven days along with other symptoms, Dr. Chiriboga-Hurtado said. In some cases, a cough can linger for two weeks or more. But if it doesn't improve after three weeks, it's a good idea to see a doctor to check if there may be another cause.

这可不是扑风捉影。有几个因素是罪魁祸首,首先是你的昼夜节律,也就是你体内的生物钟。太阳落山时,它会告诉你的大脑要睡觉休息了,同时刺激某些免疫细胞变得更加活跃。每天晚上,这些细胞都会派至身体的不同部位,寻找病毒和细菌等入侵的病原体。

But at night, mucus can build up and trigger your instinct to cough and clear your airways.


南加州大学凯克医学中心的家庭医学专家胡安·奇里博加-乌尔塔多博士说,“在白天,粘液的集聚不会造成困扰,因为行走的时候,重力会帮你排出粘液。”但到了晚上,粘液就会聚集起来,触发你咳嗽和清理呼吸道的本能。

The lack of distractions — which is typically a good thing for sleep — also makes it harder to ignore your scratchy throat at night. And the environmental conditions in your bedroom, like the dryness of the air, can irritate your respiratory tract, Dr. Chiriboga-Hurtado said.

For most people with a common cold, nighttime coughing should clear up in five to seven days along with other symptoms, Dr. Chiriboga-Hurtado said. In some cases, a cough can linger for two weeks or more. But if it doesn't improve after three weeks, it's a good idea to see a doctor to check if there may be another cause.


奇里博加-乌尔塔多说,对于大多数普通感冒患者来说,夜间咳嗽应该会在五到七天内与其他症状一起消失。在某些情况下,咳嗽可能会持续两周或更长时间。但如果三周后仍未好转,最好去看医生,检查是否是其他原因导致的。

- 词汇助记 By ChatGPT -

At the symphony, a pediatrician with a runny nose and stuffy feeling—classic respiratory symptoms—contemplated the circadian rhythm's role in immune response. He sniffled, spurring a flare-up of his asthma. Cortisol, the hormone known to suppress inflammation, couldn't tamp down his irritation. Upright yet weary, he pondered how gravity helped drain mucus accumulation, a common issue in postnasal drip. Each instinctive scratchy throat scratch triggered his awareness of allergies and gastrointestinal reflux. The lingering thought: How pathogens invade and recruit cells, leading to inflammation that could linger if not addressed.
