If you don't have pain, don't take Tylenol PM. Instead try the active ingredient in Benydrly -Diphenhydramine, works well. Many over the counter sleep aids contain this ingredient. For instance, there is a product called "Simply Sleep" that only has the sleep ingredient.
There are also hers such as Valerian root that act as a sleep aid also.
With all product, there are side effects. Diphenhydramine can raise blood pressure and Valerian can cause headaches.

I don't recommend sleeping pills of any sort except as a last resort. However, you might try an herbal tea with chamomile and Valerian root in it. If nothing else, it should help you relax. Also, try playing soothing music for a half hour or so before you go to bed, or reading a book. Good luck!

How old are you?
If you are an adult, I say startr with tylenol pm...it's great and 1 tablet helps just get you to sleep and two may make you groggy inthe am..so depending what you are doing the next day may decide how many to take the night before.
It's like Benadryl, so it's not addicting...just makes you thirsty the next day cause it's an antihistamine...
but I think it's better than a prescription Rx.

Try talking to someone you trust first about what is bothering you it'll help re leave some of the stress then drink some herbal tea that will also calm your nerves. I'm going threw a lot of crap now and that works for me. When you talk to someone you can trust it'll feel like some of the weight is lifted off you shoulders. they will also give you their opinion and you can go to bed thinking about what they said and that should help. Drink chamomile tea that helps with the stress.

Benadryl. I took it for an allergic reaction, and it knocked me out. It has the same active ingredient and dosage as Nytol(check the backs of the boxes) but is cheaper. I would recommend washing it down with a glass of wine or a beer.

I have found that tylenol simply sleep works the best and its costs about 4 bucks for a bottle of 130 pills

First off, go to the doctor... A family doctor will do if you don't know of any sleep specialists. Ask if it's possible for them to put you on Ambien. It works great. If they cant do Ambien, try Seroquel. Seroquel is meant to be a mood stabilizer, but it works wonderfully for a sleep aid.

Tylonol PM...Works 4 me, just get about 8 hours of sleep.. Also do not drink caffinated beverages after 12:00 p.m that will help too.

Some times sleeping pills can cause more damage then help.....maybe you got a lot of energy to burn try jogging, or anything physical then a nice hot shower and bam you should be able to sleep ..... if not see a doctor
