The catch? It's hard to snooze when you're stuffy and achy. To the rescue: a hot cloth or pack draped across your eyes. A study in Scientific Reports found warming the tiny blood vessels around the eyes for as little as 10 minutes fuels the release of delta brain waves that bring on deep, healing sleep.

And if you do fall ill, it curbs symptoms by 75% and helps you recover 68% faster.
