Any health problem that causes you to cough during the day will most likely lead to coughing at night. For example, the common cold can give rise to a variety of symptoms, including coughs, which stay with you day and night until the infection resolves.
Taking some cough syrup or using a cough spray before you go to sleep is a great way to soothe irritation and ease coughing through the night. You can also try natural remedies such as honey and lemon.
