Re: Does sleep hygiene have a role in symptom control?

Compliments to the authors for the study. The salient features like no improvement in PFT but still some symptom relief in terms of nocturnal cough has a positive role in maintaining good quality sleep; better sleep hygiene. This might have some role to play in symptom score.
