You could try sugar free cough drops-- I like richola (sp?) lemon-mint (sugar-free is important because you can suck on them at night and then you aren't providing bacteria with sugary food/rotting your teeth simultaneously lol)
Have you tried propping up your bed so that you are sleeping on an incline? That might help with the coughing, depending on whether there is any post-nasal drip.
Good luck!!! I had some sort of CRAZY night cough for about 7 days and it was so weird because that was my only symptom other than feeling tired/worn-down/foggy, but it was to the point of vomiting or almost vomiting for hours on end. I got a flu shot though, so part of me wonders if what I had was actually a milder version of the flu (it was very strange because the cough was hardly an issue during the day, at least in comparison). I feel you on the sleep thing ...
PS: you might consider taking a daily probiotic yourself--that helps with immunity too. You know how I like probiotics lol
