Cough and sleeping tablets?

[WitchOfTheFireworks]

Just a quick question and it may be a silly one but I'm doubting myself. I have this really tickly/bit phlemy cough with a cold. I have sleeping tablets which I rarely use but I'm wondering if it would be safe to take one to help me sleep and so I'm not awake all night coughing?. Also so not to keep waking everyone else up.
Wondering if I'd choke a bit if I'm so out of it?
Thanks.

What are the sleeping tablets called, the ones I have are basically an antihistamine which would maybe help your cough.

Would taking half help if your worried?

Its Zoplicone. They're too tiny to take half😪
I already take a nondrowsy antihistamine otherwise that would've been an ideal solution.

Last time I had a cough and went to the chemist for night nurse, I was advised to take Nytol instead, it was something about letting the congestion clear rather than staying, it made total sense at the time…
Prop yourself up, hope you get some rest tonight

I’ve taken zopiclone in the past and I reckon it would be fine. It will probably help to suppress your cough.

Phenergan really helps me sleep when I have a cough (it’s an antihistamine that is often used for insomnia).

In the end I didn't take it but I had a dream about taking a tablet and woke up really confused as to whether I had taken it or not🤦‍♀️

The one I take is boots sleepeaze
