Yes, I do, but only on an occasional night I just cannot sleep.
I have seasonal allergies, and find that 2 teaspoons of children's
Benadryl Allergy ( cherry flavor)(I'm an adult) does the trick for me. It contains no alcohol.
But I would never recommend anyone take something to get to sleep on a regular basis, because even the non addictive stuff, can be psychologically habit forming.

YUP! I just took my second set of Tylonal PM's (which contain the ingredient to Benedryl)... and I have no headache nor a cold/allergies, or anything of the like.
I gotta get to sleep somehow.
And if I was out of cold medicine, and the only thing I had was Nyquil. I would take that.

Cough & cold medicine can be used on occasion for this. Just don't make it a habit. Tylenol PM and Benedryl can also be used. Incidentally, in NyQuil, it's primarily the alcohol that puts you to sleep.

There use to be a street in St.Louis Mo..called cough syrup ally.On the weekends you may see lots of cough syrup junkies out there.What do you think?Try Melatonin,its natural and safe.

Why skate around the real issue. Just have some drinks to go to bed. You'll wish you had some cough medicine around when you really get sick.

If you have trouble getting to sleep, try Melatonin...its a natural chemical produced by your brain to fall asleep. It can be purchased over the counter at just about any drug store.

No, self medicating never helped it only made me feel groggy and slow the next day. I read a book. It stops my mind from racing and helps tire my eyes. Good luck

I used to, until I found Sominex. A great over the counter sleeping pill.

I used to take a Benedryl... after all, that's what's in most over the counter sleep aids...
