Question:
Husband just left for Iraq... Need sleeping remedy help!?
Okay ever since my husband left I have been taking Tylenol PM every night. That way I stay up and watch tv until the Tylenol kicks in, and then I just fall asleep. I don't stay up worrying or crying or anything like that. It has been about 2 weeks now. And I fall asleep, and don't feel bad the next day. But I was told that you shouldn't take it every night, that it could be bad for you. I don't want anything like Ambien, I have taken that before. I simply need something over the counter that is safe to take on a day to day basis! Any help?
Answers:
tylenol PM is just tylenol and benadryl- which isnt habit forming but u can form dependence (where u cant sleep without it)
melatonin is a natural sleep aid avail at most drug stores and GNC u can take as little as 1 mg or up to 3mg and it helps with relaxation
taking warm baths before bed can help with sleep
also lavender scents help with relaxation
hope this helps
