Well, any OTC sleep medicine could carry a big risk of addiction, so you want to be careful about those. If you'd like, there are popular and effective natural sleep aids that don't have a risk of addiction.
There's Melatonin, Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Tryptophan, L-Theanine, Passionflower, and Scullcap (an herb).
You can try any one of those to help you sleep naturally.
My doctor told me the best thing is OTC benadryl. With the tylenol PM you risk taking in too much Acetaminophen which can damage the liver.
