Ibuprofen (Advil) can cause insomnia in some people, but it's relatively rare.

Try taking Tylenol PM. I take this all the time & I sleep like a baby, and it takes care of my aches & pains. But no, regular Tylenol or Advil shouldn't keep you awake.

no, it does not.
If you want to fall asleep taking medicine, try Contac. They usually have some kind of medication that makes you drowsy.
But in anycase, advil and tylenol doesnt make you perky. It just kills pain.

It doesn't normally, but in some people it has the opposite effect to what the medicine is designed to do. Mostly, people with ADS are the ones affected.

Excedrin will keep you awake with that same stuff that is in coffee. If you want to sleep try Excedrin PM
